Deposit Vs Investment via Shares and Stocks ISA

I have an S&S ISA. A couple of questions, please.
1.If I deposit funds in the ISA account, do I need invest them for them to be accounted as ISA contribution. For example, I deposit 10K and only invest 5K, have I used 10K of my yearly allowance or 5K?
2. If I invest via ISA in the year 20/21 allowance and sell the stocks in future (after April 2021 but before April 2022). Will it impact the yearly saving allowance for the year 21/22.

    The annual allowance relates to contributions of new money into the ISA, so what you do with it once within the ISA makes no difference.

    For example, I deposit 10K and only invest 5K, have I used 10K of my yearly allowance or 5K?
    £10K.

    2. If I invest via ISA in the year 20/21 allowance and sell the stocks in future (after April 2021 but before April 2022). Will it impact the yearly saving allowance for the year 21/22.
    No.
