Steps to move the study live

1. Verify the necessary sites exist and at least one user has been added to each one

If new sites are added after go-live, that is okay - just be sure to perform step 3 below after adding the sites later on.

2. Publish the first version of the study 

3. Use the Version manager to enable applicable sites for the published version

4. Change the study status to 'Live'

5. Send users' sign in notifications from the User Manager screen

If Site document controls are in place, individual sites will only be able to enroll subjects once those conditions have been met.
