The YAML Editor allows you to update resources through the app using DataOps configs. The editor allows you to easily iterate on Glean resources as code and see changes in realtime. You can save your changes and explore via the application as usual while the YAML editor is enabled. Configs can also be copied directly from the editor into future data ops builds.
