Saving Snap! Projects

There are two different ways to save Snap! projects.

Option A: Save your project to your computer

In Snap!, go to the File menu (File menu button), choose "Save As," select “Computer” from the save dialog, and name your project.

The project will be saved in the browser’s download location as an XML file.

Option B: Create a Snap! account with a personal email and save your project in the cloud.

Open a new tab or window and go to http://snap.berkeley.edu/sign_up.

  • Make sure your username does not include any personal information (no names, birthdays, student ID numbers, etc.) Same goes for your password.
  • In the "email address" box, enter a personal email. An email will be sent to that address to verify the account. That needs to happen in the next 3 days, but you don't have to do it right now.

After you create the account, go back to your Snap! window and log in using your new username and password. Click the Cloud menu  and select "Login..."

If you have successfully logged in, you will see a filled cloud (Cloud menu button). You can change your password at any time using the Cloud menu.

To save your project in the cloud go to the File menu (File menu button) choose "Save As..." and select “Cloud” from the save dialog.
