CloudBees Release Orchestration SaaS enables you to create complex pipelines by connecting external pipeline definitions into a new pipeline. Any pipeline that is in a different pipeline group is considered an external pipeline. For more information about pipeline groups, refer to Manage groups.
| To add a pipeline from the same pipeline group to your pipeline, use the Pipeline Connector tool. To learn more, refer to Pipeline connector. |
