How to Save Code on Replit

‍

This tutorial shows how saving works in Replit and how to use checkpoints to preserve specific versions of your project.

Note: Replit automatically saves your code; there's no manual save button. Checkpoints are separate snapshots you can roll back to at any time.

1. Sign in to your account at replit.com and open an existing project or create a new one.
2. Wait for Replit to set up the environment, then click the Open Files icon in the top-right corner, click File tree, and select the file you want to edit.
3. Make a change to your code in the editor - for example, update the output format in your Python script. Your changes save automatically in the background. For manual saving, Ctrl+S (or Cmd+S on Mac).
4. To revisit a previous version, click the history icon in the Agent tab, find the checkpoint you want, and select Rollback here.
5. Confirm by clicking Rollback to this checkpoint to finalize the restore.
