If you have a pipeline flowchart saved as a JSON file, you can import it into your project as a new pipeline. You will most likely want to do this if you have:

  • Made a back up of a pipeline flowchart and want to add it back into SimpleCloud
  • Exported a pipeline flowchart so that you can import it into a different project
  • Made bulk changes to a pipeline flowchart in JSON, and want to import those changes into SimpleCloud
  • Created a pipeline flowchart as a JSON file and want to add it to a SimpleCloud project.


To upload a JSON pipeline flowchart:


  1. Log in as a studio owner or administrator. From the Dashboard, select the project you want to view to display its Resources. Then select Pipeline in the header menu to display the pipeline flowchart.

    SimpleCloud loads your JSON file and shows the flowchart.
