# Roll out the pipeline to your development environment

You’ll assign a configuration pipeline using a regular expression attribute to deploy it only to your `dev` collectors. Starting in dev lets you validate the pipeline before it reaches staging or production.

To roll out the pipeline to your development environment, complete the following steps:

1. Click the **Remote configuration** tab.
2. Click the Edit icon next to the pipeline you want to roll out.
3. Click **Next** to advance to the attribute assignment step.
4. If your pipeline already has attribute rows with values filled in, click **+** to add a new empty row. Skip this step if there’s already an empty **Select Attribute** field visible.
5. In the **Select Attribute** dropdown, select or type `env`.
6. Set the **Operator** to `=~`. This enables regex matching so you can expand the rollout later by editing the value — without creating a new pipeline.
7. Type `dev` in the **Select Value** field. The collector list updates in real time — only collectors with `env=dev` appear.
8. Click **Save** to roll out the pipeline. Once you confirm the rollout, Fleet Management immediately begins deploying it to your `dev` collectors on their next poll.

Your pipeline is now running in dev. Monitor your dev collectors in the **Inventory** tab and in your dashboards before expanding the rollout.

In the next milestone, you’ll expand the rollout to staging and then production.
