Manifests and Secret Data

The Manifest action opens a read-only YAML view in the bottom dock. Use Refresh to fetch the current Kubernetes object again.

The Edit action opens a YAML editor. Use Reload to discard local edits and fetch the latest manifest, Dry-run to validate server-side apply, and Apply to persist the edit.

Secret manifests are shown in normal Kubernetes form, with base64 data values. For Secrets, users with secrets: edit can use Reveal Secret to show decoded data values in a separate panel. Users with list/view-only Secret access cannot reveal decoded values.

Permissions: viewing a manifest requires the matching resource view permission. Editing or dry-running it requires both that resource at edit and apply: edit. Revealing decoded Secret data requires secrets: edit. Kubernetes RBAC must allow the corresponding get, patch, or apply operation.
