Action Menu
By clicking on the Gear there are the available actions you can use on the node.
Edit Tags
Add as many tags as you like and change them to have a more precise filter function.
View Code
Edit the code directly in the editor and then copy it for further use.
Download
The download function downloads the configuration to your local client. With this function you can download existing configurations, change them locally and upload them again.
Delete
By deleting a configuration via the frontend it is then deleted from your tenant.
Please ensure that the loaded modules within a DSC Configuration are not deleted automatically. If you want to remove them as well you need to delete them in the Modules area.
Deleting modules that are used within other configurations can lead to non-functional configurations. Be careful with the types of modules you are deleting.
