Will Google Play automatically publish to production when promoting a closed testing track?

I have an app that is already published to a Close Testing track. Now I am about to promote it to Production however I still don't want it to be published to the public Play store yet. Now the question is will clicking on "Promote Release > Production" automatically publish the app to the public Play store or will it allow me to select when to Publish the app?

Note: I have already turned on the Manage Publishing feature.

Solution

  • Yes, clicking on "Promote Release > Production" will publish the app to the public Google Play store.
