What does the ‘"Create a Deployment" button do?

The Create a Deployment button releases your validated site plan to the Dryad Deployment App, making it available for on-site installation of your Silvanet network.

When Should You Create a Deployment?

To prevent the need to cancel deployments or redo your Site Plan, we recommend creating a deployment only after your Site Plan has been fully validated.
