Deployment: Using a Deployment Plan

Templates, known as Deployment Plans, can be set up in advance and then reused whenever needed. These Deployment Plans are used to distribute changes to stores for configuration and file uploads. See Creating a Deployment Plan.

If you selected Schedule a Planned Deployment in File Upload: Deploying a File or Files, the Deployment Plan section of the screen expands to show the required fields.
