### Types of Deployments

**Deployment Types:**
22+
* **Schema Deployment:** Schema is stored in a Git repository. These are **deployed** between environments using a Git client or the Umbraco Cloud Portal.
23+
* **Content and Media Transfer:** Content and Media items are not stored in the Git repository. They must be **transferred** directly from the Umbraco backoffice using the **Queue for Transfer** option. Once queued, use the **Deployment** Dashboard in the **Content** section to complete the transfer.

* **Metadata Deployment:** Metadata, including Document Types, Templates, Forms, Views, and config files, is stored in a Git repository. These are **deployed** between environments using a Git client or the Umbraco Cloud Portal.

* **Content and Media Transfer:** Content and Media items are **not** stored in the Git repository. Instead, they must be **transferred** directly from the Umbraco backoffice using the **Queue for Transfer** option. Once all required items are queued, the **Deployment** Dashboard in the **Content** section is used to complete the transfer.
