# Check an Update Rings has been created in Patch My PC Cloud

*Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud*

In Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud, the [Delayed](/patch-my-pc-cloud/deployments/update-rings/update-ring-types.md#delayed-update-rings) option for Update Rings doesn’t create an Update Ring until any configured delay has passed.

As a result, you cannot edit a deployment that uses Delayed Update Rings until all rings have been created.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

If you try editing a deployment that uses Delayed Update Rings and not all of the rings have been completed, you will see the following error:

[Error - Editing is not allowed until all rings are created after the configured delay.](/patch-my-pc-cloud/troubleshoot/update-rings/error-editing-is-not-allowed-until-all-rings-are-created-after-the-configured-delay-cloud-error.md)
{% endhint %}

To determine if a specific Update Ring has been created:

1. Use the [Edit a deployment](/patch-my-pc-cloud/deployments/manage-deployments/edit.md) process to navigate to the properties page of the deployment.
2. Each Update Ring is represented by a separate tab and the status of the ring shows you whether it has been created or not:\
   \
   • **Success –** The ring has been created.\
   • **Scheduled –** The ring has not been created.\
   \
   In the following example, **Ring 1** has been created as it has a status of **Success**.<br>

   <figure><img src="/files/SPpPdrGMCEVX8BDOiuaY" alt="“Ring 1” has been created as it has a status of “Success”."><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

   \
   However, as **Ring 2** has a status of **Scheduled**, it has yet to be created as the configured delay has not passed.<br>

   <figure><img src="/files/oTz19jKRRYe0HrJCHnr0" alt="“Ring 2” has a status of Scheduled meaning it has yet to be created as the configured delay has not passed."><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip**

If you look in the top right-hand corner of the deployment, the timestamp shows when the deployment was created. From this and looking at the number of days delay configured for a ring, you can work out when a specific ring will be created.
