 * Umbraco CI/CD Flow allows for greater scalability and flexibility in your deployment process. You can adapt your existing CI/CD pipeline to handle larger projects or more complex workflows without having to overhaul your Umbraco Cloud setup.

 **Centralized Management**
 
 * With Umbraco CI/CD Flow, you can centralize the management of your deployments, tests, and workflows. This makes it easier to monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize your processes, leading to more efficient and reliable deployments. Automating deployment minimizes the risk for human errors that could have a negative effect on the target environment.

+This error will be shown when the system is unable to verify that the latest deployment has been pushed and deployed in Kudu.
+When a change is pushed to a Cloud Environment the Kudu deployment is started. CI/CD is also utilizing this flow.

+A couple of steps to try:
+- Make sure your code can compile and run (relevant only if you have enabled the `skipBuildAndRestore` toggle in V2)
+- Running npm commands via `.csproj` files is generally unsupported on Umbraco Cloud
+- Create and commit a small change and try deploying again
