Sharing your project

Made something you’re proud of? The Share dialog gives you everything you need to show it to other people. Anyone with the link can play your project, and they don’t need an account.

Before you share

Only published projects can be shared as playable pages. A newly published project may also need to be approved before its link works. So first:

  1. Sign in to the IDE.
  2. Save your project.
  3. Publish it, so it appears in the Published gallery.

See Saving and sharing for more about Save and Publish.

Opening the Share dialog

There are two ways in:

  • Your current project: press Share below the editor and choose Playable project…, or use File › Share As › Playable project….
  • Any published project: open the Published gallery and press Share on the project’s card.

What’s in the Share dialog

Part What it’s for
Link to play A link that opens the project, ready to play. Press Copy and paste it into a message or email.
Embed on a web page Code you can paste into a web page or blog, to show the project right there in the page.
Play Opens the player so you can check what other people will see.
Open in the IDE Opens the project in the IDE, where people can look at the code and remix it.
QR code Scan it with a phone or tablet camera to play the project there. Handy in a classroom.

Every published project has a number. The links in the Share dialog use it:

  • https://turtlespaces.org/weblogo/pubplayer.html?pub=123 plays project 123.
  • https://turtlespaces.org/weblogo/index-react.html?pub=123 opens project 123 in the IDE.

The embed code is an <iframe> that points at the same player link.

The Share dialog replaces the old embed player page. Old embedplayer.html links still work: they take you to the new player.

In a classroom

Teachers can turn off sharing and publishing for a classroom. If yours has, the Share and Publish buttons tell you so instead of sharing. Ask your teacher if you think it should be on.

Sharing a viewable model

Share › Viewable model… (or File › Share As › Viewable model…) shares a 3D model of what you’ve drawn, which people can turn and look at, rather than a program to play.
