    Tip

    Think of the deployment process as completing one or more deployment instances.

    • In a deployment instance, changes in selected data type(s) and items are copied over to one destination site.
    • For a successful deployment instance, all changes must be successfully deployed to a destination site. If one change fails to deploy, the whole deployment instance will fail. No changes will be copied over to this site.
    • If you selected multiple destination sites, you are initiating multiple deployment instances. 



    Successful deployments - the progress bar reaches step 4 'Results' and has a 'Successful' message. You can also click the link (2) to see the deployment details.   
     

    Unsuccessful deployments - the progress bar remains at step 3 'Summary' and the failed message is displayed. Review this deployment's data and details for issues before trying again.
