Not sure if I am doing something wrong or misunderstand its use, but the Reload file button in the IDE does not work for me in either the Chrome app or standalone app on Windows 10, and never has in previous Windows 8.1 versions as well. Since I do most of my editing in an external Notepad++ tab this would be very handy.

Hmm - thanks - it definitely looks broken. Maybe it should be removed? Presumably very few people use it if this is the first time someone's reported a problem?

If you're using an external editor, have you considered just using EspruinoTools? npm install espruino

You can make it watch a file and auto-upload when it changes

@Gordon, Thanks. I tried the EspruinoTools. Nice for an old commandline guy. In fact I just made a pull request, or at least attempted to, for a job file enhancement to simplify typing commands. Let me know what you think.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
