View and edit a Staged Configuration

Overview

This guide explains how to edit an existing Staged Configuration in your NGINX One Console.

It takes time to set up NGINX configuration files can take time. Staged Configurations can help. They work like a draft that uses the features of NGINX One Console. The Staged Configuration does not have to be valid. You can save your work before you push a configuration to an instance of NGINX.

With Staged Configurations, you can use these features of NGINX One Console:

  • Automatic syntax checking
  • Contextual documentation
  • Dynamic analysis of your work in progress
  • Suggestions from our AI assistant

Once you’ve finished your work and have pushed the changes to an Instance or a Config Sync Group, you can next delete that Staged Configuration.
