How to change make code arcade account email address

[Segatendo]

I have alot of projects in the cloud saved to my school email but I’m going to leave school soon and I’m pretty sure they disconnect your school email address but I use my home address for everything else, how can I keep all the cloud saved projects but change the email address to my home email

This is not supported at this moment, but it’s something we’ve discussed / just haven’t got around to implementing yet (@eanders I tried to find an issue for this to link this thread but I couldn’t find one in arcade / backend / etc – do you know if one exists for ‘joined accounts / change login’ or should I go ahead and file?).

Right now / until we implement it, what I would suggest it to use the ‘zip download’ feature we have to make a backup, and then upload them to the new account by dragging that backup into the editor. To do this:

1. login to your current account
2. click the ‘View all’ button next to the My Projects header
   
   
3. Select the ‘list view’ with the menu item in the top right:
   
4. Click the circle in the top row to select all projects:
   
5. Click the ‘Download Zip’ button in the top right
   

Depending on how many projects you have, this can take between a few seconds and several minutes, so please be patient. Once the download is complete, you will get a file that looks like this:

Login to your new account, then drag that into the editor, click ‘Yes’, and the projects will all get imported.

@jwunderl The zip file export/import you outline above seems like a viable workaround. I don’t know if account linking will make it any easier than that. But it’s worth filing and tracking it!
