Questions
What is Scratch Lab?
This is an experimental version of the Scratch editor, where the Scratch Team is testing out new blocks on Scratch. We’re sharing this work in progress so we can get feedback to help us improve it. Learn more about Scratch Lab.
When will these blocks be on Scratch?
We’re still exploring, gathering feedback, and revising this extension before we decide if it might go into the main Scratch site. Some Scratch Lab blocks may never make it to Scratch.
Can I save my Scratch Lab projects?
Yes, you can download projects you create with Scratch Lab to your computer, and load them back into the same Scratch Lab editor.
Can I upload Scratch Lab projects to my regular Scratch account?
No. You cannot upload Scratch Lab projects to your regular Scratch account, or share them on the Scratch community.
Scratch Lab is a place for the Scratch Team to explore, share, and gather feedback on new features for Scratch.
