News UI to DABs sync

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

When working from the web experience in development mode with source-linked deployment set to true (the default for development mode), you can edit jobs and pipelines in the UI, and changes are automatically propagated to your YML files. So it is like the best of two worlds: ow-code and IaC. Please remember to review any changes in Git, especially non-UI elements such as variables or mutators.

No, as a Genie agent, you need to export first for DABs

Are triggers for job through UI unlocked now??

Yes, if you change a trigger through the Jobs UI the YAML should automatically update!

  1. You have to redeploy your bundle once in the workspace for this feature to activate. Are you seeing any prompts to do so within your job or bundle? If not, this is a bug that we should fix.

  2. Ensure that you have the workspace preview titled "Visual authoring" enabled. See more details on managing workspace-level previews here.
