# Process To Move A Study Live

Steps to follow for Study Administrators to go live with a new study

### **Pre-go-live checklist**

Reference the [study building guide](/v1/docs/study-building-guide) to be sure you have addressed all parts of the study setup

Export the user roles and permissions for documentation purposes. This can serve as a helpful snapshot in the distant future.

Export the form data dictionaries as a blueprint of how the forms are built when moving the study live.

### **Steps to move the study live**

1. Verify the [necessary sites exist](/v1/docs/site-management#adding-a-site-to-a-study) and at least [one user has been added to each one](/v1/docs/user-management#adding-and-managing-users-at-the-study-level)

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](/v1/docs/version-management#publishing-a-version) of the study

3. Use the Version manager to [enable applicable sites](/v1/docs/version-management#managing-site-versions) for the published version

4. Change the [study status](/v1/docs/study-functionality-settings#1-study-status) to 'Live'

5. Send users' sign in notifications from the [User Manager](/v1/docs/user-management) screen

If [Site document controls](/v1/docs/site-document-manager#defining-site-rules-for-enrollment) are in place, individual sites will only be able to enroll subjects once those conditions have been met.
