# Proposals

To make edits to a HyperAuto pipeline, users will need to create a proposal. One proposal can exist on a HyperAuto pipeline at a time and represents a staged regeneration of the resources and transformation logic owned by that pipeline.

Users must decide to either approve and apply the proposal or discard it.

## Create a proposal

To create a proposal, open the **Configuration** tab of an existing HyperAuto pipeline and select **Edit**.

Within edit mode, both the input configuration (adding or removing source tables as inputs) and pipeline configuration can be updated within a single edit.

Once satisfied with the changes, select **Create proposal** to obtain a proposal that is ready and linked for you to evaluate and approve.

## View a proposal

Select **View proposal** from the overview page to open the proposal within Pipeline Builder. This is the page where you can merge or close a proposal. Actions taken will be reflected back on the corresponding HyperAuto pipeline page.

To view the pipeline logic changes that have been generated by the proposal, select the **Changes** tab.

After reviewing the changes, select **Merge proposal** to commit the change to the main branch of the pipeline. Ensure you have selected **Deploy the branch "Main"** after merging the proposal. This will ensure that the pipeline is deployed and the changes are manifested in the output datasets and Ontology.
