Friday Fact: The New Logic App Designer (GA) Doesn’t Allow Direct Access to Code View

Posted: August 16, 2024  |  Categories: Logic Apps

One key consideration with the new Logic App Designer is that it no longer allows direct access to the Code View, which limits flexibility. In the Legacy Designer, you can easily access and edit the code by clicking the Code View icon. Once you’ve made your changes, you can switch back to the visual designer, verify the updates, and save your progress when you’re confident everything is working as expected.

The new designer, however, only provides a preview of the code, which isn’t editable.

This raises the question: can you still edit your Logic App code?

The answer is yes, but with some limitations.

You can access an editable version of your Logic App’s code by navigating to the Logic App code view in the left-hand menu.

However, there’s a catch—you must save your changes before you can return to the visual designer. This means you won’t know if your changes have caused issues or if they’ve been successfully applied until it’s too late.

For example, in scenarios that we already explained before:

While the new Logic App Designer offers a more streamlined experience, the lack of direct access to an editable Code View could limit flexibility and increase the risk of errors. It’s important to be cautious when making changes to the code, as you might not be able to verify their impact immediately and broke your workflow.
