Backing up
-
How are people backing up their work? The way I've done this before is just to copy and paste all my code to a new project and saving it under a different name. But as I get really invested and have a big load of it, I don't trust myself not to accidentally press "delete" once I've selected it all.
Thinking about it - is there an "undo" hotkey for the code? Because that would solve my problem. I watched the YouTube video about this and I don't think there was. I don't have a keyboard, btw.

When you go to the screen with all your programs on, you can press x for program options. You can make a copy of your whole project like that, without having to manually cut and paste.
-
There is an undo, but I can’t remember off the top of my head. It uses the L R Lz Rz buttons.
-
I don't know how to undo without and external keyboard, but with a keyboard you can just use ctrl + z.
For backing up, I record a video of the whole code :D -
Excellent! So easy! Though the Copy and Delete options are perilously close together for a klutz like me...

Don't worry, you'll get a confirmation window if you select delete! :) And you can undo with the joycons by holding ZL and pressing R. ZR will redo

It is also worth sharing your project occasionally so that you have a remote backup copy

I’ve made a habit of (before shutting down Fuze for the night) always copying the current project to a new file and just add today’s date at the end of the file name.
Every now and then I will do a pass-through and delete the oldest copies...
-
@vinicity I think that's a good habit to get into, I'll probably do the same.

Going to quote this to repeat it. Can't overstate this one enough!
If you mess up, just download your own program again - easy.

Am I right that just
sharingdoesn't make a copy, and that you need tosubmitit as well? Or is sharing with friends enough to secure it? -
@PB____ Sharing creates a copy on the server which you can then download again. There is no need to submit. Your friends will be able to copy any program that you share.

Great, that's nice to know, I wasn't aware of that :)
