On CodeHS Free and Pro, you have the ability to edit and save code in student Assignments. With this feature, you can add comments or even make changes to student code while you are debugging or grading student work!

Note: Editing student code is currently not available in CodeHS Practice or Unit Test problems, activities which use Block Coding, or in the Intro to Programming with Karel the Dog units.

When viewing a student assignment, you can edit and run the program. Once you click save, you will see a banner at the top of the page saying the code has diverged from the student work. You can choose to Push the code changes to the student's program or Revert to the previous version of the program.

Once changes are Pushed to a program, students will receive a notification. In addition, when they open their program, they will see a pop up notifying them that a teacher has made changes to the code.

Note: If a student makes changes to their code while you are editing, the student's changes will save and you will see a pop up message notifying you that the code has diverged from your current view. A student's most recent changes will take precedence over a teacher's revisions. You can access your revisions by viewing Code History in the History tab.

Both teachers and students will be able to view changes made to the program in the History tab. You can access the History tab in the top-right corner of any exercise by going to More > History.

Teachers will see revisions that have been made to the program with a timestamp. Timestamps will include the names of the teacher or student who has made the changes to the program.

When students view their code history, they will see changes that have been made to the program with a timestamp. Changes that have been made by a teacher and Pushed to the student program will include the name of the teacher who made the changes.
