Restoring Version History in Pickcode

Last updated: 
11/20/2024

Issue: A student accidentally deletes their work before submitting, and the teacher needs to restore the previous version of the file.

Solution:

  1. Version History in Pickcode: Currently, Pickcode does not support restoring deleted files, but there is a way to access previous versions of the code.
  2. Accessing Previous Versions (from the Student's Account):
    • From the student account, right click on the file to select View History.
    • Use the scroll bar to find earlier versions of the code.
    • Once the previous code is found, copy and paste it back into the file.
  1. Teacher View Limitations:
    • In the Teacher View (grade book), the PickCode project is read-only, and the version history is not accessible.
    • Teachers cannot restore deleted files or view version history directly from their interface.
  2. Deleted Files: If the student deletes the file, there is currently no way to recover it.
