# Troubleshooting deployments

Issues with deployments on Umbraco Cloud often come down to a misunderstanding of how to work with Umbraco Cloud. It is important to always work left to right, as mentioned in the [Deployment section](/umbraco-cloud/build-and-customize-your-solution/handle-deployments-and-environments/deployment.md).

There are two ways to deploy on Umbraco Cloud, a deployment that transfers content and media:

1. A Content [Transfer](/umbraco-cloud/build-and-customize-your-solution/handle-deployments-and-environments/deployment/content-transfer.md) / [Restore](/umbraco-cloud/build-and-customize-your-solution/handle-deployments-and-environments/deployment/restoring-content.md).
2. A [Deployment](/umbraco-cloud/build-and-customize-your-solution/handle-deployments-and-environments/deployment/cloud-to-cloud.md) that transfers structure files (doc types, data types, templates, dll's, etc.).

There are some common errors associated with both of these. Most of the time, it is caused by conflicting [UDA files](/umbraco-cloud/optimize-and-maintain-your-site/monitor-and-troubleshoot/power-tools/generating-uda-files.md#what-are-uda-files) between the two environments you are deploying between.

The most common [Deployment](/umbraco-cloud/build-and-customize-your-solution/handle-deployments-and-environments/deployment/cloud-to-cloud.md) issues are listed below with guides on how to fix them:

* [Collision Errors](/umbraco-cloud/optimize-and-maintain-your-site/monitor-and-troubleshoot/resolve-issues-quickly-and-efficiently/deployments/structure-error.md).
* [Dependency Exception](/umbraco-cloud/optimize-and-maintain-your-site/monitor-and-troubleshoot/resolve-issues-quickly-and-efficiently/deployments/dependency-exceptions.md).
* [Colliding Data Types](/umbraco-cloud/optimize-and-maintain-your-site/monitor-and-troubleshoot/resolve-issues-quickly-and-efficiently/deployments/colliding-datatypes.md).
* [Deployment Failed (with no error message)](/umbraco-cloud/optimize-and-maintain-your-site/monitor-and-troubleshoot/resolve-issues-quickly-and-efficiently/deployments/deployment-failed.md).
* [Extractiom Error: Config Transform Failing](/umbraco-cloud/optimize-and-maintain-your-site/monitor-and-troubleshoot/resolve-issues-quickly-and-efficiently/deployments/config-transform-failing.md).

The most common Content [Transfer](/umbraco-cloud/build-and-customize-your-solution/handle-deployments-and-environments/deployment/content-transfer.md)/[Restore](/umbraco-cloud/build-and-customize-your-solution/handle-deployments-and-environments/deployment/restoring-content.md) issues are listed below:

* [Schema mismatch](/umbraco-cloud/optimize-and-maintain-your-site/monitor-and-troubleshoot/resolve-issues-quickly-and-efficiently/deployments/schema-mismatches.md)
* [SQL Timeouts](https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-deploy/deploy-settings#timeout-settings).
* [Dependency Exception](/umbraco-cloud/optimize-and-maintain-your-site/monitor-and-troubleshoot/resolve-issues-quickly-and-efficiently/deployments/dependency-exceptions.md)
* [Media path too long](/umbraco-cloud/optimize-and-maintain-your-site/monitor-and-troubleshoot/resolve-issues-quickly-and-efficiently/deployments/path-too-long-exception.md)

With the introduction of Flexible Environments, the chance of getting merge conflicts on Umbraco Cloud has increased. Read more about what to do in case of merge conflicts and how to avoid them.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cloud/optimize-and-maintain-your-site/monitor-and-troubleshoot/resolve-issues-quickly-and-efficiently/deployments.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
