Azure Terraform Export

Question

Hi,

I logged into https://preview.portal.azure.com/ today and was looking for the Terraform export part but wasn't able to find it, has it been removed from the Preview Portal or not?

Please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi Johann van der Westhuizen,

Thankyou patience for the detailed explanation please look into the below solutions

Portal Updates or Feature Adjustments: Microsoft often updates features in the Azure portal, including the Preview Portal. The Terraform export option may have been temporarily disabled or reconfigured. This has been reported by other users recently, and Microsoft may be preparing updates related to this functionality

Some users have posted a query related to Terraform and Bicep that they cannot view this option when they export; please refer to their question below
