Sharing

To share your app, click the "Share" button at the top of the screen. You can copy the URL and paste it in an email, chat app (such as slack), or wherever you like. You can easily send it to someone's phone by clicking the "Send to Phone" button. This will send that person a text message with a link to your mobile app.

Viewing Someone Else's App

When you view an app that someone else sent to you using the Share button, you can remix it by clicking on "Built on Code Studio" at the bottom, then on "How it Works".

Remixing

Remixing means to copy someone else's app to your own account so that you can make whatever changes you want. Making changes to a re-mixed app won't affect the original app in any way.

Copying Someone Else's Code

When viewing someone else's app, you won't be able to select blocks the same way you can in your own project. To copy code from someone else's app into your own, you have two options: remix, or copy from text mode. Once you've copied, you can paste the code into your own app (See Copying and Pasting).

Option 1: Remix

When you remix someone's app, it becomes your own, so you can simply highlight the blocks you want and press Ctrl + c to copy them. Then, use Ctrl + v to paste the code into your own app.

Option 2: Copy from Text Mode

If you don't want to copy someone's project into your project area, you can switch to text mode using the "Show Text" button. Then, just highlight the code you want to copy, press Ctrl + c to copy. Then, use Ctrl + v to paste the code into your own app.
