# Pipeline Configuration and Usage Tutorial
## Whilst Pipelines are in alpha...
You must enable this alpha functionality by setting
```yaml
system:
enableAlphaFunctionality: true
```
To true like in the above for your `/config/settings.yml` file, after restarting Stirling-PDF you should see both UI and folder scanning enabled.
## Steps to Configure and Use Your Pipeline
1. **Access Configuration**
- Upon entering the screen, click on the **Configure** button.
2. **Enter Pipeline Name**
- Provide a name for your pipeline in the designated field.
3. **Select Operations**
- Choose the operations for your pipeline (e.g., **Split Pages**), then click **Add Operation**.
4. **Configure Operation Settings**
- Input the necessary settings for each added operation. Settings are highlighted in yellow if customization is needed.
5. **Add More Operations**
- You can add and adjust the order of multiple operations. Ensure each operation's settings are customized.
6. **Save Settings**
- Click **Save Operation Settings** after customizing settings for each operation.
7. **Validate Pipeline**
- Use the **Validation** button to check your pipeline. A green indicator signifies correct setup; a pop-out error indicates issues.
8. **Download Pipeline Configuration**
- To use the configuration for folder scanning (or save it for future use and reupload it), you can also download a JSON file in this menu. You can also pre-load this for future use by placing it in ``/pipeline/defaultWebUIConfigs/``. It will then appear in the dropdown menu for all users to use.
9. **Submit Files for Processing**
- If your pipeline is correctly set up close the configure menu, input the files and hit **Submit**.
10. **Note on Web UI Limitations**
- The current web UI version does not support operations that require multiple different types of inputs, such as adding a separate image to a PDF.
