+-----------
+
+**Prerequisites:**

+
+ - A box displays for confirming the changes.
+
+#. Enter a comment and click *OK*.
+
+ - A message displays when the VF is checked in.
+
+#. [Optional] At any time before submitting the VF for testing, click these
+ options to update VF information:

+ .. note:: These tasks can be done only before submitting the VF for testing.
+
+ - Icon — change the icon associated with the VF (vendor-supplied icons are
+ preferred)
+ - Deployment Artifacts — download, view, modify, or change VF deployment
+ artifacts (for example, the contents of the Heat .zip file, which contains
+ the Heat volume template, the VF license, etc.)
+ - Information Artifacts — view or upload artifacts, such as test scripts, test
+ results, or the AIC questionnaire
+ - TOSCA Artifacts — view or upload the TOSCA model or the TOSCA template
+ - Properties — define or update VF properties (not used in Release 1)
+ - Composition — view or edit the graphical representation of the resource-level
+ TOSCA model (generated from the Heat template)
+ - Activity Log — view activity related to assets associated with the VF
+ (displays the action, date, user, status, and any comments related to each
+ action)
+ - Deployment — view VF modules defined in the Heat template
+ - Inputs — view inputs defined for the resource-level TOSCA model
+
