# Validate Configuration The validate configuration task will check the configuration deployed by a pipeline to determine if all settings were set correctly. This task only works if you have a deploy configuration task earlier in your pipeline. When the task executes it does the following: * Downloads the current environment settings (constants, scheduled events, custom runtime settings) from the target environment. * Compares the current settings (names and values) to the settings in the configuration that was selected and deployed earlier in the pipeline. * If all settings match the task completes successfully, if not the task will fail. The following options are available: * **Proceed on Failure.** If enabled, the pipeline will continue executing when this step fails. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
