-Although you can create, edit, manage, and deploy logic apps in the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com), you can also use Visual Studio when you want to add your logic apps to source control, publish different versions, and create [Azure Resource Manager](../azure-resource-manager/management/overview.md) templates for various deployment environments. With Visual Studio Cloud Explorer, you can find and manage your logic apps along with other Azure resources. For example, you can open, download, edit, run, view run history, disable, and enable logic apps that are already deployed in the Azure portal. If you're new to working with Azure Logic Apps in Visual Studio, learn [how to create logic apps with Visual Studio](../logic-apps/quickstart-create-logic-apps-with-visual-studio.md).

Although you can perform these tasks in the Azure portal, you can also use a local development environment to create logic app projects that you can add to source control, publish different versions, and create Azure Resource Manager templates for different deployment environments.
