Secrets are environment variables that contain sensitive information. Once secret variables are created, their value is always masked and never displayed to the user. Unlike Environment Variables, values for Secrets are handled by AI Workbench and not made available via a file in the project repository.
If a secret is created/ deleted/ updated while the project container is running, you must restart the project container for the changes to take effect.
