Online Editor Features

New

New is a feature that creates a new blank project in the editor. It will not overwrite the previous project, as it is a separate project in My Stuff.

Save now

Save now saves all of the changes made to the project since the previous state. If Internet connection is available, the save will be updated to the server properly; otherwise a message will appear near the top-right saying "not saved: no network connection".

Save as a copy

Save as a copy generates a totally separate, identical project to the one opened in the editor.

Go To My Stuff

Go To My Stuff takes one to his or her my stuff page.

Upload from your computer

Upload from your computer is a feature that allows one to upload projects that one has saved on his or her computer to the Scratch Website. The file extension for a Scratch 2.0 project is .sb2; Scratch 1.x projects with the extension .sb can also be uploaded into the online editor.

Caution:

The uploaded project will replace the contents of the current project.

Download to your computer

Download to your computer allows you to download projects from the online editor to your computer, which can then be uploaded.

Revert

Revert allows one to undo everything that has changed since the project was initially loaded this session.
