# di-project util validate-project-definitions

## qlik di-project util validate-project-definitions

Validate project definitions

### Synopsis

Validates the project definition files in a `.zip` and returns a structured report of warnings and errors. The validation runs synchronously and completes before the response is returned. Use this operation before importing with `POST /di-projects/{projectId}/actions/import-async` to confirm that YAML-based pipeline definitions are correct.
