Hello,

I am a newbe to IoT cloud and a free user to expirience this cloud.

If i edit a sketch in Arduino Iot Cloud and i go to the webeditor and make a few changes it will not update it in the Arduino Iot Cloud.  
Do i miss something or is it a bug?

Please help.

Thanks.

Regrds Bert.

Hi @groothuisb. Thanks for your report. I just gave it a try and found that the following procedure works as expected:

1. Click the following link to open the list of your Arduino IoT Cloud Things:  
[https://create.arduino.cc/iot/things](https://create.arduino.cc/iot/things)
2. Click on one of the Things.  
The page for the Thing will open in Arduino IoT Cloud.
3. Select the " **Sketch**" tab on the page.  
The Thing sketch will open in the Arduino IoT Cloud editor.
4. Click the " **Open full editor**" button.  
The Thing sketch will open in Arduino Web Editor.
5. Make some change to the Thing sketch in Arduino Web Editor.
6. Click the **●●●** button to the right of the board selector menu.  
A menu will open.
7. Select " **Save**" from the menu.  
**ⓘ** This step is not necessary if you have the box next to " **Enable Autosave**" checked in the Arduino Web Editor preferences.
8. Click the " **GO TO IOT CLOUD**" button.  
The page for the Thing will open in Arduino IoT Cloud.
9. Select the " **Sketch**" tab on the page.  
The Thing sketch will open in the Arduino IoT Cloud editor.

After I perform the steps above, I see the change I made to the Thing sketch in Arduino Web Editor is also present in the Arduino IoT Cloud editor.

If you perform that procedure, do you also see the expected changes?

Hello ptillisch,  
Yes this is working.

Thanks.

Although I must say that it is not really user-friendly. A new tab opens every time and that is confusing.

Regards Bert
