## Recover an interrupted binding upload

1. **Read the exact Data target**

   Read the exact Data target

   The Data Owner has already enrolled this source, and the producer API supplied its original observation metadata before this lesson.

2. **Read the complete selected source**

   Read the complete selected source

   Read the target, current head and exact source registrations without changing the document.

3. **Choose the reviewed definition**

   Choose the reviewed definition

   Use the exact stock-five-minutes reference and its first revision.

4. **Check the current independent review**

   Check the current independent review

   Load the retained definition review and its contributors before selecting sources.

5. **Choose the registered producer source**

   Choose the registered producer source

   Bind the exact producer and registration shown. Similar source names do not establish compatibility.

6. **Review the complete new binding**

   Review the complete new binding

   Check the definition, source selection and preserved native document before uploading.

7. **Prepare the original private upload**

   Prepare the original private upload

   Upload the complete prepared bytes. Uploading alone does not save or release a configuration.

8. **Check the original upload request**

   Check the original upload request

   Read the original stored receipt. Do not upload the same part again or invent another request.

9. **Confirm the complete intended file**

   Confirm the complete intended file

   Confirm that this exact complete file is the configuration you intend to save.

10. **Save a native draft**

   Save a native draft

   Save the original prepared file once. Data still requires complete expected outcomes, proof and release review.
