To use our in-browser editor:

  1. Navigate to the Courses page using the sidebar.
  2. Find the course you would like to edit and click to load the course management dashboard.
  3. Click the Open Course Editor button in the top right-hand corner to load the course editor. The editor will open in a new browser window.
  4. Make an edit to an instructions.md file in one of the exercise folders to change the wording of instructional content for your
  5. Use the VS Code source control features to commit your changes.

warning

If you click Open Course Editor shortly after the course was created, you may encounter a loading screen as we build the container image for your instructor workspace. This may take up to 10 minutes depending on your language and dependancies. A simple Python course should build in less than 3 minutes.
