Integrating Cloud functions into code

Development Tools Cloud IoT
1

Sorry in advance for the very newbie question... I'm a semi-experienced Arduino user, and have several devices doing long-term duty monitoring & displaying manufacturing process data (I run a craft distillery). I'd like to simply take this data & display it on the cloud dashboard.

However, I can't find info about how to simply add Cloud functionality to old non-cloud code. Can someone direct me to some relevant reading?

I've also looked into starting over, building new code from scratch (perhaps I don't need the display, since I could view the data on the dashboard). Arduino Cloud advertising implies that the coding is mostly done for you by simply adding the needed variables to the Thing. However, I find that when I add variables, the code doesn't change. There is a note in the comments at the top indicating "The following variables are automatically generated and updated when changes are made to the Thing" and the new variables are indicated, but I don't see any actual code generated. Am I missing something fundamental here??

Thanks!

you need to first choose a cloud and of course have an arduino that is compatible with that cloud

if you go for Arduino Cloud, there is documentation available

Isn't there an include file that your code mentions near the top? I suspect the changes are occurring in there.
