Running a Promote Trigger Validation Report

When you promote an object, the application verifies that all conditions for promotion, such as deliverables are checked in or the required approvals have been made. If all conditions have been met, the object is promoted. If not, a message indicates why it could not be promoted.

Sometimes, other objects can affect an object's ability to be promoted. The validation report evaluates the selected object and related objects to determine if the object can be promoted, and displays a list of all issues that would prevent the object from being promoted.
