# Deploy Dashboard
In this article, you'll find an overview of the different sections on the Deploy dashboard and how they can be used.
## Accessing the Deploy Dashboard
To access the Deploy dashboard, follow these steps:
1. Log in to the [Umbraco Cloud Portal](https://www.s1.umbraco.io/).
2. Select your project from the project list.
3. Choose the environment you want to work with (for example, Development, Staging, or Live).
4. Click **Backoffice** to open the Umbraco backoffice for that environment.
5. Navigate to the **Settings** section in the Backoffice. You will find the **Deploy** Dashboard at the end.
## Deploy Status
Here you can see whether the latest deployment has been completed or failed. You can see the version of Umbraco Deploy you are running, and the last time an operation was run.
## Deploy Operations
With the Deploy operations, you can run different operations in Umbraco Deploy.
Below you can read what each operation will do when run through the dashboard.
### Update Umbraco Schema From Data Files
Running this operation will update the Umbraco Schema based on the information in the `.uda` files on disk.
### Export Schema To Data Files
Running this operation will extract the schema from Umbraco and output it to the `.uda` files on disk.
### Clear Cached Signatures
Running this operation will clear the cached artifact signatures from the Umbraco environment. This should not be necessary, however, it may resolve reports of schema mismatches when transferring content that has been aligned.
### Set Cached Signatures
This operation will set the cached artifact signatures for all entities within the Umbraco environment. Use this when signatures have been cleared and you want to ensure they are pre-generated before attempting a potentially longer restore or transfer operation.
## Download Deploy Artifacts
Running this operation will download a zip file with all the Deploy artifacts representing the Umbraco schema in the form of `.uda` files.
This operation is useful if you want to move to another Umbraco instance and migrate the data with you.
## Configuration Details
In the Configuration details, you can see how Umbraco Deploy has been [configured](https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-deploy/deploy-settings) on your environment. You get an overview of the Setting options, the current value(s), and notes help you understand each of the settings. Updates to the need to be applied in the `appsettings.json` file.
## Schema Comparison
The Schema Comparison table shows the schema information managed by Umbraco Deploy.
You can see a comparison between the information that is held in Umbraco and the information in the `.uda` files on disk.
The table shows:
* The name of the schema
* The file name
* Whether the file exists in Umbraco
* Whether the file exists
* Whether the file is up-to-date
Document type schema comparison
You can also view details about a certain element by selecting "View Details".
This will show the difference between entities stored in Umbraco and the `.uda` file stored on disk.
