I have put the same build (v1.0.0) build for review in both Alpha testing review and as well as production review while managing publishing to save time for the review process. Both reviews are already completed and ready to release/publish now.
My problem is, I don't want to publish the Production release now, but want to publish an Alpha testing release only. But when I try to press the publish button "Review & Publish" in the Manage publishing sections, it says
All changes will be visible to users. This can't be undone
and both releases will be published at the same time
I have also tried to disable the managing publishing feature, suggested by google support personnel, but the below pop-up message displayed the pending release will be published immediately and can not be undone.
I am stuck as I neither can discard the releases nor can approve any release as I don't want to publish the first production release now.

Managed publishing is useful for anyone who wants to easily track app changes and their review statuses, or push an app update live at a specific time. This can be helpful when coordinating an ad campaign, launch event, or a new app version release with changes to your app's store listing or distribution.
Standard publishing: Updates to existing apps are processed and published as soon as possible. By default, your app will use standard publishing. Certain apps may be subject to extended reviews, which may result in review times of up to 7 days or longer in exceptional cases.
For publishing, we need to configure a release of our app. Google Play console allows to create releases for the app in 4 tracks -I Internal Test track, Alpha Track, Beta and Production. We will create our first app release in internal test track for testing.
Google has recently introduced a new feature in the Google Play Console. “Managed publishing” allows a little more control over your publishing process. Previously, changes in the Playstore always went live.
Managed publishing is only available for updates, not when publishing an app for the first time. If you want to use Managed publishing for your production launch, we strongly recommend publishing your app to a closed testing track first.
The answer is: no it is not immediately published and an app is also following the "managed publishing flow" again. So you can later decide when to publish the app to really be available. Note: you can't do anything else there besides publishing, so you can't decide to cancel the publishing.
I had the same problem. I contacted google support through chat and the specialist said that it is not possible to select which release to publish and clicking the publish button will publish everything that is on the list.
