Projects and sharing

Create and save projects, keep versions, share by link, collaborate live and submit lab work.

Labs is your workspace for circuits. Open it from the sidebar.

Your projects

The project list has two parts: My projects and Shared with me.

  • Create a project, rename it, make a copy (Make a copy) or delete it. There is a search box.
  • Projects autosave. The header shows Saved, Saving…, or Not saved. Retry.
  • If you see "This project was saved in another tab or window, so changes here aren't being saved", press Reload the saved project.

Versions

Open the Versions side sheet to save a named version, see earlier ones, and restore one.

Press Share to make a link. Anyone with the link sees a read-only view. The owner can turn the link off at any time. A viewer can make their own copy to work on.

Invite people

Owners see Invite (or People with a count once someone has been invited). Others see People.

  • Invite someone by email. They need an existing Maestro account with that email.
  • Can edit lets them change the circuit. Can view lets them look only. Viewers can still build the Arduino program for themselves.
  • Up to 20 members per project. The owner manages members, and others can leave.

Live rooms

As soon as a project has other members, it becomes a live room. You'll see a Live · N here badge and the people present, marked as editing or watching. You see each other's edits as they happen. Viewers can't change anything.

Live rooms aren't available in tests, or on assignment work.

Lab work from your college

Open My college, then Lab work.
Press Start the first time (it's Open after that). A project opens with a side panel for the task.
Build your circuit.
Press Submit. It's marked automatically, and marks usually show straight away.

You can press Submit again until the due date. If your college allows late work, you'll see that on the task. Assignment projects can't be shared and you can't add members to them.
