Deployment with manual confirmation of each change

[Bogopo]

I am new to CI/CD and gitlab. I have a python project for parsing latex book to html and uploading those htmls to online course platform. Without CI/CD my pipeline would look like this:

• 1. Fix latex source files of my book
• 2. Run scripts for creating html files (some artifacts from my changes)
• 3. Running script which compares old and new version of each html files and ask for a confirmation to upload those changes to online platform.

I can handle first step with gitlab version control system. I've learned to build artifacts for step 2 with gitlab CI pipeline. My question is: How can I perform 3rd stage of my pipeline (checking what is updated and confirming what should be uploaded/deployed) with gitlab CD?

I see two scenarios here:

1. Script compares old and new. You could check that output on the stage, e.g. stage:compare. Then you could use when: manual to apply the changes when you are fine with it
2. You could do step 1 for wach file seperately, so you have a stage for every file like stage: compare_file1 and so on.
