# Models

On the Models tab in Registry, models are listed as registered models containing deployment-ready model packages as versions. Each package functions the same way, regardless of the origin of its model. From the Models tab, you can generate [compliance documentation](https://docs.datarobot.com/en/docs/workbench/nxt-registry/nxt-model-directory/nxt-compliance-doc.html) to provide evidence that the components of the model work as intended and the model is appropriate for its intended business purpose. You can also [deploy the model to production](https://docs.datarobot.com/en/docs/workbench/nxt-registry/nxt-model-directory/nxt-deploy-models.html).
