# Deployment of Assets in Astera Data Stack

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/gSEioHcAvxY?si=hfyQojIjEXFHCQs8>" %}

To govern data assets in Astera’s Data Governance Platform, they must be deployed in the Enterprise Client.

Below are the required steps to populate Astera assets in the platform:

1. Open an existing project or create a new one. Go to *Project > New > Integration Project*. This will create a new Integration Project.

2. On the Project Explorer panel, right-click on the project node > Add > Add New Item.

3. A new window will appear containing multiple asset types. Select *Shared Action* and click *Add*. This will add a Shared Action asset to your Project.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Only cloud and database connections, and file sources can be deployed via Shared Actions. All other data assets like Workflows and Dataflows can be directly deployed after enabling the catalog.
{% endhint %}

4. Select a file source or a database table, drag-and-drop it into the Shared Action, configure and save it.

5. Right-click on the Shared Action inside the Project Explorer and click *Enable for Catalog*. This option must be enabled for the asset to appear in the catalog and Astera’s Data Governance Platform.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** The action above is done on a specific data asset. This can also be done for the entire project or for individual folders.
{% endhint %}

6. Before deploying the data asset(s), configure the Deployment Directory under Cluster Settings. View link on how to do this: [Deployment](/project-management-and-scheduling/project-management/deployment.md).
7. Now, right-click on the Shared Action again and click *Deploy Selected File*. This will deploy the asset on the Server and be made available to all the users connected to the cluster.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** You can also choose to deploy the entire project.
{% endhint %}

8. A new window will appear. Provide a deployment name and click *OK*.

It will be added to the list of deployments, visible under *Server > Deployment Settings > Deployments.*&#x20;

Now that this asset in Astera has been deployed to the catalog, it can be governed through Astera’s Data Governance Platform.

In the next [article](/data-governance/logging-in.md), we will learn how to access Astera’s Data Governance Platform.
