I don't see the menu entries for releases

Using Azure Devops, I'm trying to create a CD/CD pipeline.

In an ideal scenario, the situation should typically unfold like this:

However, contrary to expectations, the current scenario is quite different, manifesting itself in this way:

What's wrong here?

You can go to "Organization Settings" (and "Project Settings") > "Pipelines" > "Settings" to check whether the option "Disable creation of classic release pipelines" is turned on. If so, turn it off.

When the option "Disable creation of classic release pipelines" is turned on:

• If there is no any existing classic release pipeline in a project, you cannot see the 'Releases' option under Pipelines section and also cannot create new release pipelines within this project.
• If there are existing classic release pipelines in a project, you can see the 'Releases' option under Pipelines section but cannot create new release pipelines within this project.

In addition:

• When this option is turned on at "Organization Settings", it will affect all projects within the current organization, and you cannot turn it off at "Project Settings" of each project.
• When this option is turned off at "Organization Settings", you can turn it on/off at "Project Settings" of each project.
