The job builder represents job configurations using Apache Beam YAML. As you create and modify job steps in the job builder, a corresponding YAML definition is created. You can view this YAML definition at any time in the job builder by clicking Save YAML.
You can also edit the YAML job definition directly in the job builder by clicking the YAML editor button. This will switch the job builder from the builder form to an interactive YAML editor:
With the YAML editor, any Beam YAML pipeline can be launched from within the job builder. To learn more about Beam YAML syntax, see the Beam YAML documentation and YAML transform reference.
