Managing Projects in Code Builder for MakeCode

MakeCode is a web application that users can select when they launch Code Builder. Usually the projects created will save to the device you are playing on and should be there the next time you use MakeCode. There are a couple other alternative routes for saving your work in MakeCode:

Save project to a file on the local machine

Click on the gear on the project page, then select "Save Project"

• Give the project a name and pick a folder to save the project. 
  • We recommend you save this file to your OneDrive folder so your projects can be available from any device and are not at risk of being lost on your local device.
• Select "Save"

Import a project from a file

Note: Users on Mac, iPad and Chromebook cannot use the above process. They must use the below URL method.

• Select "Import" from MakeCode home screen

• Select "Import File"

• Click "Choose File", select the project file, then click "Open"
• Then click "Go ahead!" To open the project

Publish a project to MakeCode

• Click "Share" from the project page

• Click Publish project

• Click "Copy" to get a link to the published project.  Note – if you are going this route save this URL somewhere, as it is not associated with an account. 
• Users can use this URL to import the project into MakeCode

Import a Published project using the MakeCode URL

• Select "Import" from the Code Builder home screen

• Select "Import URL"

• Enter the URL of the published project
• Click "Go ahead!" To load the project
