# Web Application Deployment Assistant --> Step 1 - Select Archive

Tasks Related Topics

## Overview

The Web Application Deployment Assistant helps you deploy a new Web Application or Web Service (in `.war` format) to one or more servers in the domain. You can select either an archived web application (`.war` file), or an application in exploded archive format.

Use the links in the Location field to browse directories on the Administration Server machine and locate the Web Application or Web Service to deploy. If the application does not reside on the Administration Server machine, first use the upload link to upload the application `.war` file. This places the application archive in the Administration Server's configured upload directory, and automatically opens that directory in the Location field.

When the assistant detects a `.war` file or exploded `.war` file in the current directory, it lists the archive or directory name as a selection beneath the Location field. Select the name of the archive or directory you want to configure for deployment.

If your domain contains multiple WebLogic Server instances, click Target Module to target the application to a single server, or to multiple server instances or clusters.

In a single server domain, click Continue to automatically target the application to the available server instance.
