We’ve refreshed the way you save and share your work, and we want to make sure you feel confident using the redesigned features. This article will walk you through what’s changing and answer some frequently asked questions.
If you have any questions along the way, we’re here to help at support@desmos.com.
What's Changed?
You can still save and share graphs, attempt to recover your work, and access example graphs using the new interface. Now, you can try out some additional capabilities, too.
Accessing Saved Work
When you open the Saved Graphs view, your work will appear in a grid layout, and the graphs will automatically be sorted by last edit date. You can switch between a grid and a list layout. When you are viewing your graphs in a list, you can sort them by last edit date or their names.
You can also now group your saved graphs into folders. To create a folder, open the dropdown menu next to New Graph and select New Folder.
To move a graph into a folder, click the three dots to the right of the graph tile and select Move. Then, select the desired folder. You can also select multiple graphs at once and drag them into a folder for faster organization.
From this window, you can also still search for graphs by name and access example graphs.
Saving Your Graphs
Previous Version
Whenever you made changes to your graph, the Save button would appear. Clicking the button would generate a new link to your graph.
Updated Version
The Save button will still appear whenever you edit your work. The first time you press Save, you’ll generate a persistent link to your graph. This means that each time you press Save, the link will stay the same. So, you can update your graph, and anyone with a link to that graph can reload the page to see your changes without you sending a new link.
Sharing Your Graphs
Previous Version
Whenever you saved a graph, you’d generate a unique link each time. So, when you’d select Share Graph, you’d share a new link each time you wanted someone else to have access to the latest version of your work.
Updated Version
Now, you can share your graphs in two ways.
If you just want to send a link to your graph without saving it to your account, click Share a Snapshot or press CTRL + SHIFT + S (Windows) or CMD + SHIFT + S (Mac).
You can’t edit or delete a snapshot. If you think you'll want to change the graph later, use the Save and Share This Graph option instead.
