Config Editor — Create & Edit Configs Directly in UAV Desk

No more round-trips through the file system. Paste a Betaflight CLI dump straight into the browser, give it a name, and save. Every subsequent edit produces a new versioned entry so your complete tune history is always preserved and comparable.

The new config editor lets you paste a Betaflight CLI dump directly into the browser and save it under any name — no file required.
Clicking Edit on an existing config opens the same editor pre-filled with the current content. Saving creates a versioned copy (v2, v3, …) while the original is kept intact.

What is new

  • Create New Config button — appears alongside the existing Upload button in the Configuration Files section. Opens a full-screen text editor where you paste your CLI dump, enter a name, and hit Save.
  • Edit button per config — every saved configuration now shows a pencil icon next to the download button. Click it to open the editor pre-filled with the current file content.
  • Automatic versioning — saving an edited config creates a new entry named {original} v2, v3, and so on. The original is never overwritten, giving you a complete audit trail.
  • Works with the diff viewer — versioned entries are immediately available for side-by-side comparison using the existing Config File Diff Viewer. Select the original and v2 to see exactly what changed.

Why this matters

Managing Betaflight tunes previously required saving CLI dumps to disk, manually renaming files, and uploading them one by one. The new editor removes that friction entirely. You can copy a diff all output from Betaflight Configurator, paste it directly, and have it stored, versioned, and ready to compare — without ever leaving UAV Desk. For teams or anyone iterating rapidly on a tune, the built-in version history means you always have a rollback point and a clear record of what was changed and when.
