About the Coveo UI Pipelines

This is for:

Developer System Administrator

The Coveo UI pipelines are used to handle UI and control-specific events either in the Page Editor, Content Editor, or a standard Coveo-Powered Search Page.

Again, they’re somewhat less frequently customized than the indexing and search pipelines. You can find them in the /configuration/sitecore/pipelines section of the Coveo.UI.Controls.config file.

The following table is a summary of all those pipelines:
