Data Pipeline - DataFlow Gen 2, Variables assignment

Hi divyamalhotra12 ,

Inorder to understand what is Data Pipeline -

List of Data Transformation Options present in Data Pipeline - Data transformation activities - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn

Basically if you have Dataflow you can publish it inorder to do transformation. 
You can schedule the published Dataflow directly without any dependency. 
If you want to do prior steps before its execution you can use dataflow activity in data pipeline along with some series of activities.

It completely depends on how do you want to design your pipeline or consume your data flow gen 2. 

Hope this is helpful. Please let me know if you have any further queries.

"If you want to do prior steps before its execution you can use dataflow activity in data pipeline along with some series of activities."

So, this means, I choose the dataflow activity in my pipeline, select the dataflow and then click on the arrow in the dataflow. That will then take me to the dataflow and I can edit, publish it and come back to my pipeline and run it?
