See how far it has got after adding the records
Once the DNS records returned when you added the domain are in place, the verify action can be run. It reconciles the domain's provisioning again and reports on screen where things stand. It is also run once automatically straight after a domain is added.
How it is done today
After the DNS records go in, nothing visible happens, and the address works one minute and not the next. With no way to ask whether the records landed correctly, all you can do is keep reloading the address and hoping.
How it works
- 1
Create the DNS records first
Set up the records that came back when you added the domain, wherever your domain is managed.
- 2
Run the verify action
The domains section carries a verify button. Taking it reconciles the status again, and the screen shows the action running.
- 3
Read the status
When it finishes you are told where the domain stands. It can be run again later if things have moved on since.
What runs on its own, what stays in your hands
What happens automatically
Checks whether the DNS records are correctly in place, updates the domain's provisioning status, and raises a domain verified event once everything lines up.
What you control
The institution's administrator decides when the check runs, and creates the DNS records themselves wherever their domain is managed.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to verify after adding a domain?
Verification runs once by itself straight after a domain is added. You can also run it yourself at any point once the records are in.
Does verifying make DNS propagate faster?
No. The action reconciles the provisioning and reports the state. How quickly DNS spreads depends on wherever your domain is managed.
How often can I verify?
As often as you need. It is a reconcile and report, so running it every so often after the records go in is perfectly reasonable.
