Activating your CodeWhisperer customizations

The CodeWhisperer Customizations feature is in preview, and is subject to change.

Activating a version

This section describes how to activate and deactivate a version of your customization.

You can activate a new version of a customization, even while developers from your organization are using the previous version. After you activate the new version, the developers will seamlessly begin using it, with no adjustments needed on the development side.

You can also roll your customization back to a previously active state. However, CodeWhisperer does not actually re-activate a previously activated version. Instead, it creates a new version by copying a previous version and then activating the copy.

For example, suppose that you have three versions: 1, 2, and 3. The active version is 3. You decide to go back to version 1. But "re-activating" version 1 is actually just copying version 1 and creating version 4. That's the version you use: version 4, the new copy of the old version.

To activate a version of your customization, follow this procedure:

  1. Open the CodeWhisperer console.

  2. From the navigation pane on the left, choose Customizations.

    The customizations page will appear.

  3. Choose the customization you want to activate a version for.

    The customization details page will appear.

  4. Choose the version you want to activate from the Versions table.

  5. Choose Activate.

To deactivate a customization, choose Deactivate from the dropdown.
