For more information on managing existing environments, see Manage Environments and Applications in C3 AI Studio. To create a new environment, see Create an Environment in C3 AI Studio.
The page header shows the following details and controls for an environment:
- Status: The environment's name and current status, such as Stopped or Running.
- Open in VS Code: Connect to a single-node environment using VS Code. Selecting this opens a dialog with two options:
- Local connection: Copy the connection URL and paste it into the C3 AI VS Code Extension on your local machine. For setup instructions, see Prerequisites for C3 AI Application Development.
- Open in VS Code Browser: Open VS Code in your browser, pre-connected to the running environment. No local VS Code installation is required, and the connection is accessible even when a corporate firewall blocks direct connections. GitHub Copilot is not supported in the browser. For a full list of limitations, see VS Code for the Web limitations.
