Downloading and Uploading Workspaces

The "Workspace Initial Files" section of Problem Authoring allows authors to set files which "come with" the Workspace. Often it's easiest to edit these files using the Grok preview or live mode. This is especially true when working with problems that use an embedded editor like:

  • Jupyter
  • MakeCode
  • Blockly

Since the text content of these files is difficult to recreate.

Downloading workspace

You can download the workspace you're working on with the "Workspace" button on a problem. Only problem authors can see this button:

This will download a JSON file which contains every file within the current workspace.

Uploading workspace

In a problem, navigate to the Content tab and click the Replace Workspace button.

Then select the workspace.json file you just downloaded.

This will create all of the files from your live or preview workspace. You can then edit and remove unnecessary files.

Uploading multimedia or data

You shouldn't use this process to upload large multimedia files or data. You should use the Asset management functionality.
