# Deploying models

> Deploy the IXP models of your Extract nodes as solution resources, by deploying or publishing the Maestro Flow solution.

The IXP model of an **Extract** node is a resource of the solution that contains your flow. You don't deploy the model separately: when you deploy the solution, the model is packaged and deployed together with the rest of the solution resources.

In Studio Web, the models that you build in **Extract** nodes appear in the **Explorer** panel, under the **IXP models** resources of the solution. To remove a model from the solution, right-click it, and then select **Remove from solution**.

## Prerequisites

Before you deploy, make sure that:

* You validated the model performance. For details, check [Overview](overview-validation.md) in the **Model evaluation** section.
* The solution has no unresolved errors. The **Deploy** button is unavailable when the solution contains errors. To review the errors, open the **Health analyzer** panel.

## Deploying the solution

To deploy the solution, together with its IXP models, proceed as follows:

1. In Studio Web, open the solution that contains your flow.
2. In the toolbar, select **Deploy**.
3. Complete the deployment form, and then select **Deploy**. For a description of the fields, check [Publishing and deploying solutions](https://docs.uipath.com/studio-web/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/publishing-and-deploying-solutions) in the Studio Web user guide.

**Result:** The solution is deployed to a solution folder in Orchestrator. The IXP models of the solution are listed in that folder, under the **IXP Models** tab. For details, check [Managing deployed models](managing-deployed-models.md).

:::note
To package the solution without deploying it, select the dropdown arrow on the **Deploy** button, and then select **Publish**. You can deploy the published package later from the **Manage** view in Studio Web, or from **Solutions** in Orchestrator.

## Deploying the solution to another environment

When you publish and deploy the solution to a new environment, the IXP models are packaged, migrated, and deployed along with the rest of the solution. No additional manual steps are required to set up the models in the new environment. For details on deploying solutions, check [Deploying a solution](https://docs.uipath.com/solutions-management/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/deploying-a-solution) in the Solutions Management user guide.
