What will happen when the "choose your editor" screen goes away?

I teach online coding classes using MakeCode for Minecraft, and it is a regular occurrence that I have to deal with the Makecode editor behaving in odd ways, such as not allowing the user to drag code or change values, the screen just turning white and not loading anything. The usual fix for this is to have the student go back to the "choose your editor" screen and reload their project. I find myself having to do this at least once per lesson.

With Python Notebooks disappearing, the “Choose you editor” screen will presumably follow suit. Closing Minecraft Education and reopening it is time-consuming, especially for kids with slow devices, and resetting the editor deletes all of the code!

It is possible on Windows to refresh the codebuilder using ctrl-r, but there is no way to refresh the editor on a Mac or ipad.

Please could we add an option to refresh the editor without deleting all of the code?
