How to Disable the pipeline in Azure Devops

Hi Folks, I am following below Azure Devops Learning Module

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/modules/create-a-build-pipeline/9-clean-up-environment

In docs it says: To disable the pipeline:

1. In Azure Pipelines, navigate to your pipeline.

2. Select Edit. From the menu in the upper corner, select Settings:

But I am not able to see these settings.

Can anyone help ?

Thank you 😄, This worked. This stopped the build pipeline from running the Job. Hope this saves my free build minutes.

if your goal is to disable builds for every check-in; the better approach is to disable CI. That way your pipeline is not disabled. And you can go manually build when you please.

hey so ensure you have navigated to the pipeline, e.g on the left menu, click menu. Hover over over a recently run pipeline and a ... menu will appear on the right. Select edit. On the top-right click a ... menu. Select settings. Now you have a menu options Enabled, Paused, Disabled. Select Disabled.

You'll need to delete the file within your repo, aka azure-pipelines.yml
