freigegebene

Freigegebene is a German term derived from the verb freigeben, meaning to release, grant access, or approve. In common usage, freigegebene functions as an attributive past participle used as an adjective to describe items that have received formal release or approval. It is not typically used as a standalone noun; when needed, the related noun is Freigabe (release or approval).

In practical contexts, freigegebene is found in fields such as software development, publishing, data governance, and regulatory affairs. In software development, freigegebene Versionen or freigegebene Builds refer to software that has passed testing and been authorized for distribution. In publishing and media, freigegebene Inhalte denotes content that has been cleared for publication or broadcast. In data management, freigegebene Daten means data that has been approved for use, often after compliance checks. The term thus signals a formal clearance or authorization stage within a workflow.

Grammar notes are helpful for correct usage. Freigegebene is the attributive form of the past participle freigegeben and agrees with the noun it modifies (for example, eine freigegebene Version, freigegebene Daten). The corresponding predicate construction would be ist freigegeben (is released/approved). This adjective form can also appear in plural or with different gender endings depending on the noun it describes.
