YAML Editor

The YAML Editor workspace panel lets you apply arbitrary YAML to the active cluster — equivalent to running kubectl apply -f.

Opening the Editor

Click YAML Editor (or Apply YAML) in the sidebar under the Workspace section. The panel opens with an empty Monaco editor.

Applying YAML

1. Paste or type a valid Kubernetes manifest in the editor.
2. Click Apply.
3. The result (success message or error output from the API server) appears below the editor.

You can apply multi-document YAML by separating manifests with ---:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: app-config
  namespace: default
data:
  key: value
---
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: my-app
  ...

Inline YAML Edit (from Resource Screens)

Most resource screens open a YAML editor panel when you double-click a row (or click the edit button). This is a pre-loaded editor — the resource's current YAML is fetched from the cluster and shown in the editor. After making changes, click Apply to push the update.

The panel title shows the resource kind and name (e.g., deployment / my-app).

Editor Features

The Monaco editor provides:

• YAML syntax highlighting
• Bracket matching
• Multi-cursor editing (Alt+Click)
• Find & Replace (Ctrl+H)
• Format document (Shift+Alt+F)

Tip

Use Ctrl+Z / Cmd+Z to undo changes within the editor session before applying.
