ADO - need to increase number of agents for parallel jobs

Question

In our Azure Dev Ops (ADO), we have a CI set up that runs 8 tests. We set it up a long time ago to use 3 MS Hosted Agents. I wanted to bump it up to 4 but I can't find any place to do that. I am guessing the UI changed and is part of the "Parallel Jobs" area of the Pipeline Settings. However, I don't see anywhere to set the number of Agents to use. Thanks Darren [MSFT]

For DevOps questions, you'll get the best answers from the DevOps forums where the Azure DevOps team and DevOps community are actively answering questions:

Having said that, I believe that this may be the documentation that you are looking for:

"All Azure DevOps organizations are provided with several free parallel jobs for open-source projects, and one free parallel job and limited minutes each month for private projects.
