How to: Edit a SharePoint Deployment Configuration
You can create a deployment configuration or modify an existing deployment configuration. For example, you could run a single step or change the order of the steps in the deployment process. You may want to create or modify deployment configurations because the built-in and programmatically added configurations cannot be changed.
To create a SharePoint deployment configuration
-
In Solution Explorer, choose a SharePoint project, and then, on the menu bar, choose Project, ProjectName Properties.
-
On the SharePoint tab, choose the New button.
The Add New Deployment Configuration dialog box appears.
-
In the Name text box, enter a name for the deployment configuration.
-
In the Available Deployment Steps pane, choose the steps that you want to add to the deployment configuration, choose the (>) button, and then choose the OK button.
Note
If you have configured a pre-deployment command or a post-deployment command, these steps run only if you add them to a customized deployment configuration.

-
In Solution Explorer, choose a SharePoint project, and then, on the menu bar, choose Project, ProjectName Properties.
