What is Deployable?

A campaign must initially be locked to be selectable for deployment. After the first deployment instance, a campaign can be locked or unlocked.
Campaign Data
To deploy campaign data, the campaign must be locked. No data is deployed when the campaign is unlocked.

The popup does not detail results to each target site in multisite deployments. 'Successful' is displayed if all data to all sites was completed.
Troubleshooting Campaign Deployment
Non-existent Products
A deployment will only add a product to a deployed campaign if the product code exists on the target site. If the code is not found, the product is omitted. When this occurs, the deployment will still be flagged as successful. Before deployment, check that products and their codes are available on a target site.
SEO URL Naming Conflict
To ensure SEO URL best practices are kept, deployment will fail if the SEO URL for a deployed campaign matches a pre-existing campaign's on a target site. On the source site, change the SEO URL on the source site, then redeploy.
Deploy Campaigns (Admin)
