When you open a workspace, you’re taken to the integrated development environment (IDE). The IDE is a VS Code-like editor and works similarly, though there are some functionality differences. (See the Warnings & Limitations page).

Using the IDE as the App Owner

If you created a blank workspace, there are no app files. If you created a workspace based on a previous commit for your deployed app, your app files are available in the explorer panel on the left of the screen.

Select the pages icon to hide or show the explorer panel.

As the app owner, you can manage files and folders, as well as use the terminal.

Creating Files and Folders

You can create new files and folders in your project from the File menu, or by right-clicking in the explorer panel and selecting New File or New Folder.

Uploading Files to the Workspace

Drag files to the explorer panel to upload them to your workspace:

Alternatively, you can right-click in the explorer panel and select Upload Files:

Cloning from an External Git Repo

You can also clone an external Git repository. See Cloning Repositories into a Workspace for more information.

Working with the Terminal

In a workspace’s terminal, you can run commands available on Linux. These include pip and apt-get.

To start a new terminal, select the Main Menu button (just below the Plotly logo), and then select Terminal > New Terminal.
