# Verify Change Package

:lock: ChangePackage.**Verify**

:lock: ChangePackage.**Correct**

## Overview

The **Verify** operation is used to check the integrity of a **Change Package**. The operation confirms that the selected objects still exist and that their references are valid.

When a **Change Package** is sent for approval, the system runs **Verify**. If verification reports errors, the approval request is aborted.

**Verify** and **Correct** both check [[user-guide-generic-tables-index|Generic Table]] and [[user-guide-smart-tables-index|Smart Table]] row items according to a **Table Verification Mode**:

* **Check Nothing** - The system only verifies whether the table and the row still exist, using the row ID property. This is the default mode.
* **Check Change Package References** - In addition to the **Check Nothing** verification, the system verifies whether any column of a row references an entity that is not included in the current **Change Package**. A row is considered invalid if it references an entity outside the **Change Package**.

!!! info
    When called through the API without an explicit Table Verification Mode, the system uses the default value configured for the `ChangePackage.Verify` context and the `TablesVerificationMode` element. If no default is configured, the system uses Check Nothing.

## Setup

No specific setup is required other than meeting the preconditions of the operation.

## Preconditions

* The **Change Package** exists and is not Terminated.

## Sequence of Steps

### Step 1: Verify a Change Package

1. Open the **Change Package** that you want to verify.
2. Navigate to the Contents tab and select **Verify** from the action bar.

3. In the **Verify Change Package** wizard, select the **Table Verification Mode**:

    * **Check Nothing**
    * **Check Change Package References**

4. Select **Verify**.
5. Review the verification result.

If verification reports errors, the system displays the number of root errors and dependency impacts found during verification.

If verification completes without errors, the **Change Package** can proceed to approval and publication.

### Step 2: Correct Invalid Items

If the **Verify** operation reports errors, use **Correct** to remove invalid items and their dependent branches.

!!! warning
    When you correct a Change Package, all invalid items are removed permanently. This action cannot be undone.

1. Review the verification errors.
2. Select **Correct** from the action bar.

3. In the **Correct Change Package** wizard, select the **Table Verification Mode**:

    * **Check Nothing**
    * **Check Change Package References**

    ![Screenshot of the Correct Change Package wizard with the Table Verification Mode options.](images/correct_change_package_wizard.png)

4. Select **Correct**.
5. Review the correction results.

When you select **Correct**, the system removes unavailable objects and invalid table rows identified during verification from the **Change Package**. It also removes dependent branches recursively. For example, if `Flow A` no longer exists, the **Correct** operation removes `Flow A` and all objects that depend on it.

!!! note
    Correct is only available while the Change Package version is in the `Created` state.

### Results

* **Verify** - Confirms whether the **Change Package** contains invalid objects, references, or table rows, according to the selected **Table Verification Mode**. It does not change the package contents.
* **Correct** - Removes invalid items and table rows, together with their dependent branches, from the **Change Package**, according to the selected **Table Verification Mode**.
