To migrate a program from a legacy editor, download it as a hex file but instead of copying it to your micro:bit, drag and drop it onto the new editor.


Motion sensor change for the Javscript Blocks Editor

  1. In a new browser tab, open your program in https://makecode.microbit.org/v0
  2. In another new tab open the beta editor https://makecode.microbit.org

You can download your scripts from microbit.co.uk before it is removed, and you can also export migrate them to the new editors.

  1. In a new browser tab, open the legacy editor or your script at https://www.microbit.co.uk/app and select the program you wish to migrate.
  2. Select the Migrate to microbit.org button to open it in the relevant editor at makecode.microbit.org or python.microbit.org and you are done!





Please note that the new editors simplifies the way scripts are saved (you are responsible for saving your scripts where you want to store them) and so 'migrating' them alone doesn't ensure they will be available after January 1st 2018. You should still after export to ensure you have a local copy.
