Start Deployment
When an item or page of items is of a deployable content type, you will see a Deploy button on the top right of the page or on the item's Options menu. The general rule is:
- use the Deploy button to select from all multiple valid items on the page.
- use Deploy on an item's menu to deploy only that item.
