Validating your Product Designer changes

Product Designer validates changes as you move from one page to another. It indicates whether there are validation errors by displaying a red X on the Changes icon in the toolbar.

Additionally, when you are viewing any page that enables you to make changes to the product model or system tables, you can click Validate to manually validate your changes. Validation errors appear at the top of the page on a red background. The errors are marked with a red X and appear on a red background. When no validation errors exist, clicking Validate displays the message No validation errors marked with a green checkmark on a green background.

Note: When you click Validate, Product Designer reloads the entire product model from the workspace. Therefore, Product Designer can display unexpected values after validation if other users have committed changes to the same workspace.

Finally, when you select Commit, Product Designer performs validation of all changes in your active change list and proceeds only if it does not detect any validation errors. Your commit operation is blocked until you resolve all errors in the change list.
