# Promote Prediction Definitions and Models to Production

Build and test your models in a sandbox environment and, when it’s production-ready, promote it to your production environment using change sets.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/images/icon_note.png)

Note Einstein Discovery stories are now models. We wish we could snap our fingers to update the name everywhere, but you can expect to see the previous name in a few places until we replace it.

1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter change set, and select **Outbound Change Sets**.
2. To create an outbound change set, click **New**, enter a name and description, then click **Save**.
3. To add the prediction to the change set, next to **Change Set Components**, click **Add**.
    
    ![Add a component to the change set](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_edd_package_promote_component.png)
4. Select the type of component you want to deploy
    
     
    | Component | Description |
    | --- | --- |
    | **Analytics Model** | The Einstein Discovery model, or the custom equation based on statistical understanding of past outcomes to predict future outcomes. |
    | **Analytics Model Configuration** | The metadata for the Einstein Discovery model. Use for editing or retraining the model in the target environment after migration. |
    | **Analytics Model Prediction Definition** | The parent resource of a model (or group of models) in Einstein Discovery. Use to consume model predictions and manage jobs. |
    
    ![Select the component type for the change set](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_edd_package_promote_type.png)
5. Select one or more deployed prediction definitions or models from the list, and then click **Add to Change Set**.
    
    ![Select the prediction definitions or models to add to the change set](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_edd_package_promote_select.png)
6. Add any models on which the prediction definition depends by clicking **View/Add Dependencies**, selecting any available models, and then clicking **Add to Change Set**.
    
    ![Select the model dependencies to add to the change set](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_edd_package_promote_dependency.png)
    
    Now the prediction definition and any associated models appear in the components list.
    
    ![List of predictions and models added to the change set](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_edd_package_promote_list.png)
7. Upload the change list to the target production environment. Then go to that environment, navigate to **Inbound Change Sets**, find the change set you uploaded, and then deploy it as for any other change set.
