# IDS Validation

Check Information Delivery Specifications (IDS) by uploading an .ids file.

{% hint style="info" %}
IDS Validation is in beta, as shown by the β tag next to the tool. It is part of the Coordination add-on: without this add-on, the tool is greyed out and shows a bolt icon. See [Plans & Add-ons](/getting-started/plans-and-add-ons.md). IDS Validation is not available in public sharing sessions or on mobile devices.
{% endhint %}

1. Under *Measure*, open *Quality* and click *IDS Validation*
2. In the Command Center, click the *Click to upload IDS file* button
3. Select an .ids file from your desktop
4. Press *Enter* or click the *Apply* button.

A notification will be displayed in the top-right corner with the results of the check. Each failed check will result in a separate subnotification. Click a subnotification to select and zoom to the products that failed the check. To raise a failed check to an [issue](/documentation/qonic-application/data-and-collaboration/issues-panel.md), click the *Raise Issue* button next to it. Alternatively, you can batch create issues for all failed checks by clicking *Raise all Issues* in the header of the notification.

{% hint style="warning" %}
There is a known issue where the same .ids file cannot be uploaded twice consecutively in the same session in the web browser. If this problem occurs, please refresh your page or open Qonic in the desktop application.
