## Console

The console is located at the bottom of the **Source** screen. To access it, click the up arrow icon (chevron) and expand the panel.

It contains the **Test Mode** and **Error Validation** tabs, which display:

* Complete details of the integration deployment and execution in test mode. Read more about [test mode](/docs/integrations/ipaas-flow-test-mode).

* Syntax and structure errors identified by the **Full Validation** feature (Source Code tab) or during saving of the `main.yaml` file. 

### Error validation

To check for syntax and/or structure errors in the integration code, save the file or click **Full Validation** in the top right of the editor (checkmark symbol), on the Source Code tab.

<Callout type="note" title="NOTE">
The validation feature (**Full Validation** button) is only available in the Source Code tab.
</Callout>

The errors identified are displayed at the bottom of the screen in the console (on the **Error Validation** tab).

- Validation applies only to the `main.yaml` file code. Scripts in **resources** files are not validated.

- When you correct the code and run a new validation, previous error messages are automatically removed from the console.

- While validation errors are listed in the error panel, you can save the integration, but the system will block **Test Mode** initialization and deployment, preventing code with failures from executing.
