Can't find Pipeline Wizard in Azure DevOps Pipelines

I inherited a project a while back that uses Azure DevOps Pipelines for deployment and when I want to edit the pipeline I have access to a wizard to walk through the tasks, triggers, variables, options, etc.. I then set up a completely separate project for a different organization and when I go to create a new pipelines it's only allowing me to use a YAML script. I don't see a way to run through the wizard.

Also, in the previous project under Pipelines I have sub menus for Pipelines and Environments. In the project I just set up I don't have these choices, only Builds. So it seems like I may be using an older version in the original project, I'm not sure and I can't seem to find a way to change the version.

Is this wizard no longer available for new projects? Is there a setting somewhere or something I am missing to gain access to it or do I have to use YAML only from this point on? If that is the case, is there a way to upgrade the old project to this version (I want to stay consistent)?

No, you just facing the different design of azure devops.

  • You can only create the YAML.

The page you can see the tasks, triggers or other tabs is the design of Classic editor pipeline.

Please choose Use the classic editor after you new pipeline.

Click Continue after select the source (the repository and the branch) for your project.

At the next step, you can choose Empty job, also you can add some tasks.

Note: do not select Configure as code. It is YAML.

Now, you can see the tabs like tasks, variables, triggers and etc.

  • Could not seen Pipelines and Environments.

These two tabs are the new UI design which published in recent sprints. And we provide it by enable Multi-stage pipelines in Preview features panel.

I assume you did not enable this feature and just saw Builds there.

Click your head account which located in right corner, then choose Preview features:

Then enable Multi-stage pipelines.

After enable it and close the panel, this page will be re-load automatically. Then you will see Pipelines and Environments in the left wizard panel.
