   Warning:

   When you select Ready to assess, assessment of the deployment request begins immediately, and making additional changes to the deployment request isn't recommended. Only select Ready to assess when you're ready to deploy your changes to the pipeline.
   When you have selected Ready to assess, ReleaseOps automatically begins assessing your deployment request.
