Overview

This topic explains how to duplicate and manage release pipelines.

Duplicate release pipelines

As an alternative to creating a new pipeline, you can duplicate an existing one and edit it to make it unique. This may be faster if you wish to create multiple similar release pipelines.

To duplicate an existing release pipeline:

  1. Navigate to Releases. The default release pipeline appears.
  2. Click the release pipeline name, and select Manage release pipelines. The release pipeline list appears.
  3. Find the release pipeline you wish to duplicate. Select its three-dot overflow menu.
  4. Choose Duplicate. The new release pipeline opens in a new tab. You can identify it because it has the same name as the original release pipeline with (copy) appended to the end.
  5. Modify the new release pipeline as needed.
The release pipeline "Duplicate" option.
The release pipeline "Duplicate" option.

After you create a release pipeline, you can edit any of its information, except for the release pipeline key, until you add releases to it. After you add releases to a release pipeline, you can only edit the pipeline name, description, tags, and phase names. This ensures that all flags are going through the same standardized release process.

Update release pipelines

You can update both the default release pipeline other release pipelines that are not the default.

Update default release pipelines

To change a default release pipeline:

  1. Navigate to Releases. The default release pipeline appears.
  2. Click the release pipeline name, and select Manage release pipelines. The release pipeline list appears.
