Open a service or functional task page

Services support getting work done—managing code, planning and tracking work, defining and managing pipelines, creating and running tests, and so on.

Note

Only those services that are enabled appear in the user interface. For example, if Boards is disabled, then Boards or Work and all pages associated with that service don't appear. To enable or disable a service, see Turn an Azure DevOps service on or off.

You open a service by choosing the service from the sidebar and then selecting from the available pages.

For example, here we select Boards > Backlogs.
