# Environments

Smart Answers are available in Preview (e.g. [marriage-abroad][marriage-abroad-preview]), Staging (e.g. [marriage-abroad][marriage-abroad-staging]) and Production (e.g. [marriage-abroad][marriage-abroad-production]).

Preview is deployed to automatically after a successful build of the master branch on Jenkins.

Staging is deployed to manually during the [deployment process][deployment-doc]. We check that everything is working as expected before deploying to production.

Production is deployed to manually during the deployment process, once we're happy that the deployment to Staging has worked as expected.

Preview differs from Staging and Production in that it'll show draft Smart Answers and allow you to [display outcomes as Govspeak](viewing-templates-as-govspeak.md).

## Staging

Staging is deployed to manually during the [deployment process][deployment-doc]. We check that everything is working as expected before deploying to production.

## Production

Production is deployed to manually during the deployment process, once we're happy that the deployment to Staging has worked as expected.
