This functionality is similar to the deployments done through [DXP management portal](🔗). You can copy a BLOB/DB from a source environment to target by deploying with this approach. You can also deploy _content only_ (BLOBs/DB), which you cannot do using the code package deployments. When you deploy using the source environment, you can specify which of the two apps (Optimizely Content Management System/Optimizely Customized Commerce), or both, that you want to copy from a source environment to target.
The deployment process is as follows:
Start deployment from source environment to target environment.
Track deployment status until the first stage of deployment is completed.
Verify the site on the slot (manually or using automated smoke tests).
**Complete** or **Reset** deployment depending on the verification results.
