First Deployment
Approvals with Manual Interventions
Learn how to add approval gates and manual checks to your deployment process using Ctrlplane’s manual intervention features.
Overview
The Manual Intervention Required step allows you to incorporate human approvals and manual verification into your deployment workflows. When a manual intervention point is reached, the deployment process pauses and waits for an explicit approval or rejection from authorized team members.
