# Choose stores and countries

By default, your release goes to every store we deliver to, in every country. You can change both in the **Review & submit** section of the builder: **Stores** to pick specific stores, and **Territories** to block countries or release only in some.

For most releases, leave both as they are.

## Pick specific stores

1. Open your release in the builder and scroll to **Review & submit**.
2. Click the **All stores** card.
3. Choose **Pick stores**. (**Everywhere** sends the release to every store.)
4. Use **Search stores…** to find a store, and click stores to turn them on or off. **Select all** and **Clear** change them all at once.
5. Click **Save**.

The card then shows how many stores you picked, for example "12 stores – A custom selection."

TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube Content ID and SoundCloud monetisation are chosen separately, in **Content ID & social**. See **Content ID and social platforms**.

## Block or limit countries

1. In **Review & submit**, click the **Worldwide** card.
2. Choose one of:
   * **Worldwide**: every country we deliver to.
   * **Remove countries**: everywhere except the countries you pick.
   * **Only add countries**: nowhere except the countries you pick.
3. Search for a country, or use a **Quick add** group such as **European Union**, **North America**, **UK & Ireland**, **DACH**, **Nordics** or **Australia & NZ**.
4. Click **Save**.

![The Territories dialog with Worldwide, Remove countries and Only add countries](https://ammdistro.com/helpdesk/distro-territories.webp =800xauto)

The card then shows, for example, "Delivering everywhere except 3 countries" or "Delivering to 5 countries only".

## When to change these

* **Stores**: if you have an exclusive deal with a store, or there's a store you don't want your music on.
* **Countries**: if someone else already holds the rights to the song in some countries, or a deal limits where you can release it.

## Common questions

### Can I add stores after my release is out?

Send us a message from the chat on this page, or email team@ammdistro.com.

### My release isn't on one store.

Some stores take longer to process new releases than others. Open the release's **Delivery** tab to see the status for each store. If it's been longer than the estimate shown there, contact us.
