Question: Is it possible, or if not, could it become possible to have the ability to **open** , **edit** , and **save changes** to text files that have been uploaded to a project?

I couldn’t find any documentation on this, so hopefully I didn’t miss it. I do think this would be helpful in the way of saving time between switching back and forth to an external text editor. As well as having to delete then RE-upload the edited file.

For more efficient work, I recommend that you install a web server locally and download all text files from this server during testing, and edit them in any editor that is convenient for you.

Adding files to a project only makes sense before building the project.

Another option is to use text blocks instead of files.
