# How to promote pipelines across environments

Promoting a previously deployed pipeline from a non-productive environment to another chosen environment is fast and simple. Here is how you can do that: 

{% hint style="info" %}
To have access to **Deployment**, you must have been **assigned** the **Deployment: Read and Deployment: Create permission or role on the desired environment (test/prod)**, for your user account or for a group to which you belong.
{% endhint %}

## Step 1: Select the desired pipeline

1. In the non-productive environment, go to the **Run** page and select the deployed pipeline that you want to deploy in another environment. This page includes a color-coded environment tag in the upper left corner, making it easier to identify the environment you are working in.
2. After identifying the pipeline, click the three dots in the upper right corner of the pipeline card. Click **Promote to**.

## Step 2: Promote the pipeline

1. When you click **Promote to**, a side sheet is displayed with the pipeline deployment configurations. Make the necessary changes.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can delete this pipeline from the current environment after promoting it.
{% endhint %}

2. Once you have specified the settings, click **Promote** to promote the selected pipeline to the desired environment or click **Cancel** to return to the previous screen.

2. Verify the settings from the previous step by comparing the pipeline in the non-production environment with the deployment details for the selected environment.

After promoting a pipeline, you will be redirected to the Run page of the selected environment and project. The number of licenses consumed by this action will also be displayed.

## **Step 3: Check the current situation of the pipeline**

You can check the current status of the pipeline on the pipeline card. To learn more about the status available on the card, read the documentation about [pipeline deployment status](https://docs.digibee.com/documentation/developer-guide/development-cycle/overview/deployment/pipeline-deployment-status).

You can also check the status of the most recently deployed pipelines in the **History** tab on the Run page.
