Narrative:

It was brought to my attention that the aircraft I had released for service had parts missing from a first officer's sliding window replacement during overnight maintenance which my shift [had] received a turnover on to complete.the A319 aircraft was turned over to dayshift for completion of installation of first officer's sliding window pane. Reference log page XXX. 'Partial work turn over' stated all work was completed except for final adjustments and installing the trim around window. Aircraft maintenance manual (amm) 56-12-11-400 was being followed for window replacement. Upon completion of job; I cleared work pack; closed MEL on window heat; reviewed all paperwork and made entries in sceptre [maintenance computer system]. I signed-off airworthiness and released aircraft for service. Several hours later we received a call from the third-shift mechanic stating he forgot to install one of two bolts and nuts on the window release handle where it attaches to the window trolley bellcrank; item #380 illustrated parts catalog (ipc).immediately I checked and found the A319 aircraft on lay over in ZZZ1. I called my supervisor and informed him of the situation. We called ZZZ1 maintenance and asked them to confirm bolt and nuts missing; which they did. In the meantime we checked ipc 56-12-11; located part numbers and called ZZZ1 with part numbers. I then had a conversation with ZZZ1 lead mechanic and using ipc reference; location of missing hardware was established. Shortly thereafter; ZZZ1 lead mechanic called and reported to me job was completed. I expressed my gratitude to him for their help in solving our dilemma.
