# Resource Manager template deployment what-if operation (Preview)
1010

1111
Before deploying a template, you might want to preview the changes that will happen. Azure Resource Manager provides the what-if operation to let you see how resources will change if you deploy the template. The what-if operation doesn't make any changes to existing resources. Instead, it predicts the changes if the specified template is deployed.

> The what-if operation is currently in preview. To use it, you must [sign up for the preview](https://aka.ms/armtemplatepreviews). As a preview release, the results may sometimes show that a resource will change when actually no change will happen. We're working to reduce these issues, but we need your help. Please report these issues at [https://aka.ms/armwhatifissues](https://aka.ms/armwhatifissues).

Some of the properties that are listed as deleted won't actually change. In the preceding image, these properties are accessTier, encryption.keySource and others in that section. Properties can be incorrectly reported as deleted when they aren't in the template but are automatically set during deployment. The final deployed resource will have the values set for the properties. As the what-if operation matures, these properties will be filtered out of the result.

Some of the properties that are listed as deleted won't actually change. In the preceding image, these properties are accessTier, encryption.keySource and others in that section. Properties can be incorrectly reported as deleted when they aren't in the template, but are automatically set during deployment as default values. This result is considered "noise" in the what-if response. The final deployed resource will have the values set for the properties. As the what-if operation matures, these properties will be filtered out of the result.
