Static - the bookmarkable directory for your Azure DevOps project

Static puts a single, always-on directory in your project's sidebar. Collect the links, pages, pipelines and pull requests your team uses every day, give them stable, human-readable addresses, and find anything in a couple of clicks - instead of digging through menus or chasing short-lived run links.

What makes it different

• Quick access to what matters. A curated directory in the project navigation - the project's yellow pages: Links, Pages, Pipelines, PR and Repos in one consistent place.
• Reach the places Azure DevOps cannot deep-link. Bookmark a specific build's stage/job/task log, the latest succeeded build, the newest open pull request, or the tip of a branch. Targets that depend on a build are stored by name, so the link keeps working as ids change; if a target genuinely no longer exists you get a clear message, not a broken page.
• Publish a page straight from your pipeline. Turn self-contained HTML (a status dashboard, coverage report, changelog) into a permanent page in the project navigation.
• Publish a report tab. Optionally attach that HTML to the build results as a Static page tab, next to the run that produced it.
• Publish or update a link from your pipeline. A pipeline can create and keep a named link (an artifact, an external report) current.
• Find any pull request. The PR hub's "Global PR #" jump resolves any pull-request number in the organization, in any project and any state.
• Manage it centrally. Project settings for links and pages; an organization overview across projects.

Getting started

Publish a page and/or a report tab from a pipeline:

steps:
  - task: PublishPage@0
    inputs:
      page: 'coverage-report'
      sourcePath: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/coverage/index.html'
      tabName: 'Coverage'

Publish or update a link:

steps:
  - task: PublishLink@0
    inputs:
      title: 'Latest report'
      slug: 'latest-report'
      url: 'https://example.com/report.html'

Then open the Static group in your project's sidebar.

Notes

• Pages and links are written only by pipelines; the admin UI never accepts HTML.
• Content is self-contained (one HTML file per page) and rendered in a sandboxed frame.
• Works with Azure DevOps Services.
