Saving a V5 Python Project on Chromebook

When working in VEXcode V5, it is important to understand how to save a project on a Chromebook.


Using ‘Save’

Project

Saving VEXcode V5 Python projects is easy. First, select the project name window.

VEXcode

A Save dialog window will open.

Drive

Name your project by typing in your device's Save dialog window.

Notice the .v5python file extension after the file name. All VEXcode V5 Python files will have this file extension.

Drive

Select the destination, such as the Downloads folder.

Save

Then select ‘Save.’

My file download

The file will save to the chosen destination on your device. All VEXcode V5 Python projects are recognizable by their .v5python extension.

Drive forward

The updated project name will be visible in the project name window.

Autosave

Once a project is saved, VEXcode V5 will automatically save all changes in a project.

Note: Whenever there is an unsaved project VEXcode V5 will prompt users to save their work if the user attempts to:

  • Close VEXcode V5
  • Create a new project
  • Open another project

Using ‘Save As’

File

You can also use the ‘Save As’ option from the File menu to make a copy of a project under a different name or in a different location.
