The Live Editor

What is the Live Editor?

Rewst's Live Editor is an interactive environment in the Rewst platform where you can test and debug workflows, Jinja, PowerShell, and variables in real time. Instead of building blindly and hoping it works later, check your code and see if it delivers your desired result.

  • Run individual steps or entire branches of a workflow and see how things behave.

  • Inspect the actual data moving through a workflow, including step outputs, parsed inputs, and runtime values.

  • Test your Jinja expressions directly on real data without deploying the full workflow.

Use the Live Editor in Rewst

Access the Live Editor by navigating to Tools > Live Editor in the left side menu of your Rewst platform.

Switch between the two available languages in the editor by clicking the switch button in the top right of your Editor panel. The name of the language currently in use for the editor will display in blue on the button.

Click Render to display your code's result in the Result pane.

Click Share to create a link to share your context and code in the editor, to be opened by another individual later. This is particularly helpful for sending to coworkers or Rewst support staff.

Live Editor shortcuts

  • Access the Live Editor in other menus in Rewst, in any fields where you see the button.

  • Press F1 within the editor to see menu and shortcut options

  • Press Ctrl + Space to get the initial root options

  • Add | to the end of your variables to access Jinja filters. e.g.: {{ ORG.ATTRIBUTES.id|default('test default string') }}
