Menu
Some time ago Azure DevOps have added a support for YAML build pipelines. This is all nice for power users (I get it, pros only use command line & plain text tools, GUI is for weak) for quite a few reasons.
Is there a way to go back to a GUI (classic editor) to edit an existing pipeline? I have disabled the feature
as described here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/get-started-designer?view=azure-devops&tabs=new-nav , however it only helps for new pipelines.
Somehow I haven't yet memorized the syntax and entire set of configuration options for pipeline definitions, so...
I'd like to edit my existing pipeline using the GUI, as I don't have time to read the docs and look for what exactly string do I need to add into which place of YAML in order to set some simple options, however, I am always taken to the YAML view when I try to edit a pipeline (which was created visually some time ago).
Is there a way to open the GUI editor?

Export your Classic pipelineOpen your Classic pipeline. Select the ellipses (...), and then select Export to YAML. Open the downloaded YAML file in your code editor. If your YAML pipeline includes variables defined in the Classic UI, define the variables again in your pipeline settings UI or in your YAML file.
There is a link in the Create New Pipeline blade. Click on the "Use the classic editor" link and voila you will get the GUI to work on!

for a pipeline thats using yaml - no. you can only configure it in yaml and you can not switch back to UI experience.
If the pipeline is UI - it will continue to work as it was working.
