Synchronisation ("README")

We do not force or even expect you to use the editor on this platform. The Sync/README feature allows you to connect documentation from your open source repository (see list below).

To use this function, just put the URL to your remote content into the README field when creating a new project. Or find it in the Details editor on an existing challenge or project.

Use the Sync (synchronise) button on your project page to refresh your changes at any time. You can still Edit your project to add notes or answer questions relevant to the event you are at, and Details to tweak the Contact, Download, Source, Image links and more.

The contents of all projects in an event can be synced by the admin, and this happens automatically from time to time as you work with your project.
