# Trigger and Event Types
This reference page lists the trigger events Doc Holiday can react to and the connection types that support each one. See [Configure Triggers](/docs/publications/configure-triggers.md) for setup and [Connection Types](/docs/reference/connection-types.md) for the full Source catalog.

### Release prerelease control
The **Releases** trigger is available for the GitHub and GitLab Sources marked ✓ in the table. **React to pre-releases** is available only for GitHub repository and GitHub access-token Sources. It is a per-Source setting within a Publication and appears under **Releases** after that trigger is selected.
When **React to pre-releases** is selected, the Publication continues to react to prerelease publish events for that Source. When **React to pre-releases** is cleared, only full releases trigger work for that Source. For existing Publications, an absent or unchanged setting preserves the prior behavior. The Publication continues to include prereleases until an administrator clears **React to pre-releases**.
When **React to pre-releases** is cleared, Doc Holiday omits prereleases from release comparisons and chooses the newest stable, non-draft release available for the comparison. For setup steps, see [Configure Triggers](/docs/publications/configure-triggers.md).
Doc Holiday does not offer a scheduled trigger. For recurring cadence, use CI through [GitHub Action](/docs/automation-and-integrations/github-action.md).
