# Building Transformations

A transformation is complete when the Transformation Input(s), active Transformation Steps and the Transformation Output are properly connected and do not display errors which are indicated in red.

Once the transformation is complete, it must be published to update the model. Every inheriting collection must be republished to incorporate the new transformation configuration within the embedded collection(s). See here for details on [Completing and Publishing Transformations](/data-transformations/building-transformations/complete-and-publish.md).
