Allow freedom where a document is concerned (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

release

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'allow' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'freedom where a document is concerned' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'freedom' could be 'ease' (I've seen this before) and 'ease' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for release that I've seen before include "record" , "put out" , "Liberate" , "press announcement" , "New film" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
