In every workplace, most work gets done at the most cluttered desks. Yet the business also requires an orderly front office to run efficiently.

Introducing the CircleCI visual config editor

The CircleCI visual config editor (VCE) is now generally available as an open source project. Development teams can now create and modify CircleCI config files in a visual drag-and-drop, low-code environment. The VCE is a node-graph editor that you can use to modify CircleCI config elements and generate config files. It provides a frictionless way to build CI/CD pipelines and interact with CircleCI’s platform in an efficient, user-friendly visual interface.
