# Verification Gate
### Verification Gate
An approval gate stops the pipeline and waits for approval either from a human user or from a computer based on data from a supported plugin.
You can add a **Verification** Gate after creating a pipeline to the application. To add a **Verification Gate** follow the steps below:
If you haven’t created an application already, click [**here**](https://docs.opsmx.com/release-history/previous-releases/isd-4.0/knowledgebase/manage-application/create-an-application)**.**
If you haven’t created your pipelines yet, click [**here**](https://docs.opsmx.com/release-history/previous-releases/isd-4.0/knowledgebase/manage-pipelines/create-a-pipeline)**.**
1. From the [**Application dashboard**](https://docs.opsmx.com/user-guide/dashboard/application-dashboard), select your application name which you need to edit a pipeline.
