Ready for your Grant to go live?

Ensure you've double checked the following:

1. Preview the application form selected for this round: on the `Application Form` step select `Edit`, then `Preview` in the Form Builder.
2. If your `Funding Type` is `Application form field`, confirm the right `Currency fields` are selected and the funding amount they pull through is correct.
3. Confirm the `Grant type` (`Public Grants` or `Private Grants`). For a private grant, confirm your `Invited applicants` list is complete.
4. Confirm your opening and closing dates on the `Time & Date` step, or set the round to `Always open`.
5. If this is a multi-stage grant round, confirm the right prior-stage applications are in `Selected Applications`, and double check the linked template if `Copy values from the previous stage` is on.
6. If you use a landing page, confirm `Who can view the landing page` and its `URL slug` are correct.
7. Set up Field Tags on the application form if you want data to pull into contracts, letters or reports: give the field a `Field Tag` in its `Properties`.
8. Review the emails this round sends under `Communicate > Email templates`, in `Applicant emails` > `Grant`.
9. If this round needs assessing, confirm assessors are assigned: on the assessment round's `Assessors` step, select `Assign` beside each person.
10. Select `Publish Grant`. `Unpublish & Edit` remains available afterwards if you need to make changes.


The same checklist appears on the `Publish Grant` step of the round's set-up. Labels that name
`Grant` and `Application` use your organisation's own term if you've renamed it.
