# How does the monthly shift work with the file distribution system?

## Are Tribes files shared when a new month starts?

When a new calendar month begins, the file(s) distribution will be triggered based on your Tribers' local time zone. As releasing files on the 1st of the month is often an expected behaviour, we recommend informing your Tribers if the file(s) will not be released on the 1st of the month through a Tribes post or Infoblock.
