Problem

Opening the pipeline creation wizard hides the top bar and shows an unrelated loading skeleton. Steps also lack their subtitles and contextual documentation links from #49243.

Solution

Keep the wizard header visible during access checks and redirects, with a skeleton matching the initial destination selection. Restore all four step subtitles and destination-specific Docs links on Connection. Link Data to the current table-selection guidance.

Before After
31447 New Pipeline  Supabase
New Pipeline  Supabase 30316

Review instructions

  1. Enable Pipeline creation wizard in Feature Previews. Open /project/<ref>/database/pipelines and click Add pipeline, with network throttling enabled. Confirm the top bar stays visible while the destination skeleton loads.
  2. Continue to Connection for each available destination. Confirm the subtitle names that destination and Docs opens its setup guide.
  3. Continue to Data. Confirm its subtitle and Docs link cover publication and initial-sync selection. Review should also show its subtitle.
  4. While the initial screen loads, confirm Close returns to Pipelines and the form footer is disabled.

📝 Walkthrough

The pipeline creation flow now uses centralized step metadata and displays contextual documentation links. The creation page shows a shared header and loading skeleton during loading, and a redirect message when access is unavailable.

Changes: Pipeline creation experience

Layer / File(s) Summary
Step metadata and documentation links
apps/studio/components/interfaces/Database/Replication/CreatePipeline/PipelineCreationFlow.constants.ts, apps/studio/components/interfaces/Database/Replication/CreatePipeline/PipelineCreationFlow.tsx, apps/studio/components/interfaces/Database/Replication/CreatePipeline/PipelineCreationFlow.test.tsx, apps/studio/components/interfaces/Database/Replication/DestinationPanel/DestinationPanel.constants.ts, apps/studio/components/interfaces/Database/Replication/DestinationPanel/DestinationPanel.tsx
The flow uses centralized step definitions and destination documentation paths. It displays documentation links for the connection and data steps. Tests cover destination-specific links and the absence of links on other steps.
Loading and redirect page layout
apps/studio/components/interfaces/Database/Replication/CreatePipeline/PipelineCreationSkeleton.tsx, apps/studio/pages/project/[ref]/database/pipelines/new.tsx, apps/studio/components/interfaces/Database/Replication/CreatePipeline/PipelineCreationPage.test.tsx
The page renders a header and destination skeleton while loading, and a redirect message when access is unavailable. Tests cover loading states, disabled destination controls, and close navigation.

🔵 Needs a closer look

Close can fail during the initial loading state before the route ref is available.

No open issues 🎉

What changed in this PR

Updates the pipeline creation wizard to preserve loading context and restore contextual step guidance.

Changes:

  • Added a persistent header and destination-selection loading skeleton.
  • Restored step subtitles and contextual Docs links.
  • Added tests for loading states, subtitles, and documentation links.

Review note: Moderate issue (1 vote): Close may be non-functional before the dynamic route’s ref is hydrated.

just checking on this one - this param feels unnecessary?

the only caller is /pipelines/new which checks if ref is present
but ref is retrieved from the URL params which will always be present given that pipelines is in the context of a project

is there a reason why we need this? this feels unnecessary although i understand its for screen readers
cause the page itself already communicates this imo

could be more strict on the typing here - e.g Record<FlowDestination, string>? (which FlowDestination is currently defined in PipelineCreationFlow)

id: 'connection',
label: 'Connection',
title: 'Authorize the destination',
description: 'Name this pipeline and enter credentials for {destination}.',

this is a bit hacky haha, i'd prefer that we make description a function for each step here

description: (type: string) => `Name this... ${type}`

Then PipelineCreationFlow does description={currentStep.description(type)} for SteppedFlowHeader

Similar to how we do it here

i wanna avoid these mutations in place here tbh

could we extract this out into a simple helper function - can be declared outside of the component
const getDocsUrl = (step) => ...

<div className="space-y-3 p-5" aria-busy="true" aria-label="Loading destinations">
<p className="text-sm font-medium text-foreground">Destination type</p>

suuuuper tiny nit, but just thinking if we should do 4 loaders here

since there'll normally by 4 destinations

to minimize layout shift

the heights of each skeleton row are a bit taller than the destination row when rendered too

any reason why we're using window.location here? can't we use router.push?
other its a full page reload
