 | `outdated_mode` | `false` | `"strict"` | The mode to use for determining if a branch is up-to-date or not before allowing deployments. This option is closely related to the `update_branch` input option above. There are three available modes to choose from: `pr_base`, `default_branch`, or `strict`. The default is `strict` to help ensure that deployments are using the most up-to-date code. Please see the [documentation](docs/outdated_mode.md) for more details. |
 | `required_contexts` | `false` | `"false"` | Manually enforce commit status checks before a deployment can continue. Only use this option if you wish to manually override the settings you have configured for your branch protection settings for your GitHub repository. Default is "false" - Example value: "context1,context2,context3" - In most cases you will not need to touch this option |
 | `skip_ci` | `false` | `""` | A comma separated list of environments that will not use passing CI as a requirement for deployment. Use this option to explicitly bypass branch protection settings for a certain environment in your repository. Default is an empty string `""` - Example: `"development,staging"` |
-| `checks` | `false` | `"all"` | This input defines how the branch-deploy Action will handle the status of CI checks on your PR/branch before deployments can continue. `"all"` requires that all CI checks must pass in order for a deployment to be triggered. `"required"` only waits for required CI checks to be passing. |

 | `allow_forks` | `false` | `"true"` | Allow branch deployments to run on repository forks. If you want to harden your workflows, this option can be set to false. Default is "true" |
