How Lead360 helps
Piece validation checks whether a draft has the required identity, capabilities, resources, behavior, safety, and compatible configuration. It catches missing or inconsistent setup early, while Arena testing remains responsible for evaluating behavior in realistic scenarios.
When to use this workflow
Validate after meaningful draft changes and before Arena certification or publication review.
Before you begin
Start with the exact sub-account and the smallest set of permissions, records, and resources required for the task.
- Save the intended draft revision.
- Resolve obviously missing resources and required fields.
- Know which warnings are acceptable for the documented role and which require changes.
Complete the workflow
Follow the steps in order and stop when a required resource, permission, review, or approval is missing.
- Open the exact Piece draft revision.
- Run Validate.
- Review every error and warning by builder area.
- Correct the draft or document the reviewed reason for an allowed warning.
- Run validation again and keep the final result with Arena evidence.
Understand the key controls
Validation versus testing
Validation checks configuration and policy rules. It does not prove the Piece will handle every real request correctly.
Exact revision
Validation evidence belongs to the revision that was checked. Later changes require another run.
Warnings
A warning is not automatically harmless. Review it against the intended audience, capabilities, data, and effects.
Validation evidence
Keep the final validation result with the review record so the draft tested in Arena can be matched to the draft approved for publication.
Confirm the result
Do not rely on a success message alone. Confirm the saved state and any live effect in the product area that owns the final record.
- Confirm no blocking errors remain.
- Match each accepted warning to an owner and rationale.
- Start Arena from the same saved revision.
Troubleshooting
Validation reports a stale resource
Reconnect, replace, or remove the unavailable connector, plugin, memory binding, automation, or workflow resource.
Validation passes but behavior is wrong
Use Arena scenarios to inspect behavior, source use, refusals, and effects, then revise the appropriate builder step.
Frequently asked questions
Does a passing validation mean the Piece is ready to publish?
No. It means structural and policy checks passed. The revision still needs realistic Arena testing and any required review or certification.
Do I need to validate after a small edit?
Validate after any change that could affect identity, capability, data, behavior, safety, model settings, or resource compatibility.
