# Deploy from Interactive Chat

> Generate deployment configuration in Chat, commit it, and launch a Preview environment.

Move an application from an active Interactive Chat sandbox into a managed Revolte Preview environment.

<Info>
  This flow is for an existing application with a connected repository and a preconfigured cloud provider. If cloud access is not configured, connect a provider before launching the deployment.
</Info>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Request a Preview deployment">
    When the application is ready to test outside the chat sandbox, click **View Preview**. If GitHub is not connected, connect it through the [GitHub repository integration](/integrations/repository/github) before continuing. If the repository does not have deployment configuration yet, select **Generate `revolte.yml` configuration file**.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the generated deployment files">
    Revolte analyzes the application and prepares the files required for deployment. Depending on the application, these can include:

    * `revolte.yml` for environments, services, resources, branches, and scaling
    * A `Dockerfile` for the production runtime
    * A health-check endpoint used during deployment

    Review every generated file under **File changes** before continuing.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the project and application if needed">
    If the project or application does not already exist, create them as new before continuing. This ensures the Preview deployment is associated with the correct workspace and app configuration.
