Azure Devops: Manual Deployment to Environment using Pull Request build

Question

I am currently investigating Trunk Based Development using Git and Azure Devops. While it is nice that I can deploy code automatically to an environment after opening a pull request, my job has multiple pre-prod environments for testing. I would like to at least have a way to manually deploy my build via code from the outcome of a possible PR to a select environment. After testing is finished and it is approved I then want to take that same build and deploy it to another environment for further testing that was not available in the first environment. Is this possible?

For this issue , when you create a release , you can manually select pull request build version as artifact source for this release.

In the Pipeline section you can choose the stages for which you want to change the trigger from automated to manual. A manual deployment will be required for these stages.
