The Designer constantly validates the BPMN process and the implemented execution. The validation results are displayed in the Validation panel.

So the panel supports you during modelling by displaying notes for invalid actions on both canvases giving you advice on how to fix the errors.

Note
You cannot deploy and start a process service that still has validation errors. You need to resolve them first.
