A project can be loaded and saved in VEXcode VR in a few ways.
Note: Due to browser limitations, different web browsers will display varying options for saving and loading. Be sure to follow the instructions specific to your browser. Don't see your browser listed? Make sure your browser supports VEXcode VR here.
Check for Autosave Compatibility
Browser compatibility for autosaving varies. To determine if your browser supports this feature, follow these steps:
Select the project's name.
If the web browser can support autosave, it will say Autosave Capable Browser.
If autosave is available, VEXcode will automatically save all changes once you've opened or initially saved a project to your computer.
If the web browser cannot support autosave, it will say Autosave Unavailable.
If autosave is not available, you must manually save your project after each change to prevent data loss.
View the "Save Using the File Menu" section of this article to learn how to save your project.
