Frequently Asked Questions
How many documents can I edit simultaneously?
The YAML editor supports unlimited documents. You can create new documents, upload existing files, and switch between them using the document tabs. Each document is validated independently.
What file formats are supported for upload?
The editor supports .yaml, .yml, and .txt files up to 100MB. Multi-document YAML files (separated by ---) are automatically split into individual documents for easier editing.
How does the auto-save feature work?
When enabled, auto-save preserves your changes in the browser's local storage. This ensures your work is not lost if you accidentally close the browser or navigate away from the page.
Can I collaborate with others on the same YAML files?
The editor is designed for individual use with local processing. For collaboration, you can download your edited files and share them through version control systems like Git, or use dedicated collaborative editing tools.
