# Validate a Tool with a Tightening Program

1. On the home view, go to the Tightening tab. If required, select a specific program in the list.

   Validation can be performed both for the entire list of programs, or for individual programs.

2. Select the Validate Program icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.

3. In the pop-up window, choose the tool to validate the tightening program against, and select Validate.

   If a tightening program is not compatible with the selected tool, it will be indicated by a red circle with an exclamation point.
