Auto Backup Feature in Web-based VEXcode GO – VEX Library

In order to keep your progress while working on a project, VEXcode GO has an automatic backup feature.

If you are in a classroom that shares devices and do not want a student to see the previous student’s code, start a new project before closing the VEXcode GO tab.

Please note that if you have multiple VEXcode GO tabs open in your web browser, the auto backup will ONLY store the project in the last tab that was closed. The other projects will not be backed up.
