Work with project code

Layerwise keeps each project's source in a local workspace. Assistant changes and changes you make yourself use those same files.

Use the built-in editorCopy Anchor Link

1. Open the mode menu in the preview header.
2. Choose Open in → Built-in editor.
3. Select a file, make the edit, and save it.
4. Return to Preview and refresh the app.

Select a file in the tree to edit the same source used by the local preview.

The file tree supports creating, renaming, and deleting files or folders. Markdown files can be previewed. Binary files and files larger than 10 MB cannot be edited inline.

Open the workspace elsewhereCopy Anchor Link

The Open in menu lists supported installed editors, terminals, and file managers. Select one to open the same local workspace in that app.

Open in lets you choose the built-in editor or an installed app for the project workspace.

If an app is not listed, use a listed file manager to open the workspace folder.

Export a projectCopy Anchor Link

Open the three-dot menu beside the conversation title and choose Export ZIP to save a ZIP archive of the current local workspace.

The menu beside the conversation title contains project copying and export actions.

Connect GitHubCopy Anchor Link

1. In Account, select Connect GitHub if you have not connected it yet.
2. In the project preview header, select the GitHub icon.
3. Choose the owner, repository name, description, homepage, and visibility.
4. Select Create repository.

Layerwise creates and connects the repository. The page then shows Repository settings, where you can open the repository, change its settings, or select Disconnect repository. Disconnecting removes the project link; it does not delete the GitHub repository.
