# Schedule rollouts

Schedule downloads and installs for one device or many devices.

### Before you schedule a rollout

Confirm these requirements first:

* [Prerequisites](/verifone-central-device-management/verifone-central/rollouts/manage-rollouts/prerequisites.md)
* [User privileges](/verifone-central-device-management/verifone-central/rollouts/manage-rollouts/user-privileges.md)

### Choose the rollout type

Use the task that matches your goal:

* [Create a batch rollout](/verifone-central-device-management/verifone-central/rollouts/schedule-rollouts/create-a-batch-rollout.md) — schedule a rollout for multiple devices
* [Create rollout for a single device](/verifone-central-device-management/verifone-central/rollouts/schedule-rollouts/create-rollout-for-a-single-device.md) — schedule a rollout for one device
* [Create a new batch for rollout](/verifone-central-device-management/verifone-central/rollouts/schedule-rollouts/create-a-new-batch-for-rollout.md) — add another batch to an existing rollout
* [Modify existing rollout](/verifone-central-device-management/verifone-central/rollouts/schedule-rollouts/modify-existing-rollout.md) — edit a saved rollout or cancel a job in progress

### Scheduling flow

Most rollout schedules follow this order:

1. Create or open a rollout.
2. Select the rollout type.
3. Select the target device or devices.
4. Set the download schedule.
5. Set the install schedule.
6. Review the rollout summary.
7. Start the rollout.

### Scheduling options

When you schedule a rollout, you can choose one of these download options:

* **Download during device maintenance hours**
* **Download immediately on the next contact**
* **Start download on** a specific date and time

You can then choose one of these install options:

* **Force installation**
* **Install immediately after download**
* **Start install on** a specific date and time

{% hint style="info" %}
If a selected device already has a conflicting rollout, remove the conflict before continuing.
{% endhint %}

### After you schedule the rollout

Track rollout progress here:

* [Managing rollouts](/verifone-central-device-management/verifone-central/rollouts/managing-rollouts.md)
* [Monitor estate-wide rollouts](/verifone-central-device-management/verifone-central/rollouts/monitor-estate-wide-rollouts.md)
