# Pre-validation for product catalog deployments

> Learn how to use pre-validation in Deployment Manager to verify product catalog deployments and identify missing dependencies before you apply changes to the target tenant.

Learn how to use pre-validation in Deployment Manager to verify product catalog deployments and identify missing dependencies before you apply changes to the target tenant.

Pre-validation in Deployment Manager allows you to verify deployments before you apply changes to the target tenant. This early feedback mechanism helps you identify missing dependencies upfront, saves time, and reduces deployment failures.

> **Note**
>
> Verify and Deploy is available for Product Catalog and Notifications only.

On the **Deployments** screen, click the **+New** button.

On the **Basics** screen:

1. Enter a **Deployment Name** and an optional **Description**.
2. Select a **Source Tenant Configuration** and a template.
3. Click **Next**.

   > **Note**
   >
   > The **Target Tenant** is populated automatically and cannot be modified.

On the **Select** screen, do one of the following:

* Select **Product Catalog**, and then select the product details for comparison: primary key, Products in source tenant, and rate plans.
* If **Catalog (New)** is selected, select **Products**, and the product details for comparison: primary key, products in source tenant, and rate plans.

1. Click **Next**.

The system generates the comparison list and redirects you to the **Deployments** screen.

(Optional) Click **Refresh** to view the status.

For a successful product catalog deployment, the status is displayed as **COMPARE-DONE**.

When the comparison is complete, click **View Details**on the appropriate deployment card.

Select the components to deploy, and then click **Verify and Deploy**.

On the **Validate components** screen, click **Deploy**.
