-Pantheon is a WebOps platform for open-source Drupal and WordPress sites that makes it easy to design, build, test, and measure your sites. WebOps combines the lessons of Agile and DevOps communities to prioritize iterative work that is visible to all team members. You can quickly deploy different versions of the same site on your Test environment, Live environment, and backup servers.
+## Launch steps
+You've successfully set up your site and created your workflow. Now, it's time to go through the final steps to get your site live. Use this checklist to launch your site on the Pantheon platform: 
+
+<Alert type="info" >
+You can interact with the following checklist to mark steps as completed as you follow along, however progress is not saved and will reset on pageload. 
+<br/>
+<br/>
+Steps marked with an asterisk character * indicate the task is required and cannot be skipped. All other steps are best practice recommendations, but optional.

+|  <input type="checkbox" /> | Configure caching| Configure full page caching to take advantage of Pantheon's Global CDN: <br/><ul><li>[Drupal's Performance Settings](/drupal-cache)</li><li>[WordPress Pantheon Cache Plugin Configuration](/guides/wordpress-configurations/wordpress-cache-plugin).</li></ul> **Tip**: Install the Pantheon Advanced Page Cache plugin or module to automatically clear caches for related pages as content is updated.<br/><br/>[Learn more](/clear-caches#granular-cache-clearing)|
+|  <input type="checkbox" /> | Configure email | If emails are mission critical for your site, integrate a 3rd party provider for reliability. <br/><ul><li>[Drupal Sendgrid on Pantheon](/sendgrid)</li><li>[WordPress Sendgrid on Pantheon](/guides/wordpress-configurations/sendgrid-wordpress-wp-mail-smtp)</li></ul>[Learn more](/email)|
+|  <input type="checkbox" /> | Review Status tab | Before going live, use Pantheon’s Launch Check tool in the **status** tab of the Live environment to identify and resolve common configuration or performance issues.<ul><li>[Drupal Launch Check](/drupal-launch-check/)</li><li>[WordPress Launch Check](/guides/wordpress-pantheon/wordpress-launch-check)</li></ul>**Tip:** Aim for all green, resolve any red. |

+|  <input type="checkbox" /> | Connect custom domains* | Add your production domains to the Live environment: <ul><li>Go to the **Domains / HTTPS** tab of the Live environment and connect all production domains to the site dashboard.</li><li>Repeat for all bare domains, such as `example.com`, and all subdomains, like `www.example.com`.</li></ul>[Learn more](/guides/launch/domains/#connect-domain) |
+|  <input type="checkbox" /> | Provision HTTPS | Use Pantheon's free, automated HTTPS service for a secure online presence without manual certificate management.<ul><li>Complete ownership verification after connecting the domain in your dashboard.</li><li> Wait for the HTTPS status to turn green in the domain details tab.</li><li>Repeat for every domain connected to the production environment.</li></ul>[Learn more](/guides/launch/domains/#avoid-https-interruption)|

Repeat this process for all custom domains connected to your Live environment. <br/><br/>[Learn more](/guides/launch/configure-dns/#configure-dns)|
+|  <input type="checkbox" /> | Configure a long-duration HSTS header | By default, the HSTS header has a max-age of 5 minutes on Pantheon.

+
+## Additional steps for custom HTTPS certificates
+If your requirements do not allow you to use Pantheon's free and managed HTTPS certificate service using Let's Encrypt certificates, you can purchase the option to bring your own custom certificate to the platform instead. [Learn more](/custom-certificates) 
+
+Once purchased, the process for enabling your certificate on Pantheon ahead of your launch includes the following steps: 
+
+| | Todo         | Context |
+|---| ------------- | -------------------------------------- |
+|  <input type="checkbox" /> | Request a Pantheon-generated CSR  | Work with Pantheon support to generate a CSR after you have connected your domains in the site dashboard. <br/><br/>[Learn more](/custom-certificates#add-a-custom-certificate) |
+|  <input type="checkbox" /> | Generate new cert bundle | Provide the CSR from Pantheon to your Certificate Authority (CA) so they can generate the new cert bundle in PEM format. |
+|  <input type="checkbox" /> | Send cert bundle to Pantheon | Handoff the certificate bundle from your CA to Pantheon support so it can be installed and deployed to the platform. |
+|  <input type="checkbox" /> | Test locally | Make sure your custom certificate works as expected locally before pointing your domains to Pantheon. <br/><br/>[Learn more](/custom-certificates#test-before-going-live)
+|  <input type="checkbox" /> | Disable Let's Encrypt  | Prevent Let’s Encrypt from issuing certificates for your domains by setting a CAA DNS record to specify which CAs are allowed to issue certificates for your domains.<br/><br/>[Learn more](/custom-certificates#disable-lets-encrypt-with-caa-records) |
