SUMMARY:
1. Uploading a project to the Particle Web IDE is not possible.
2. However, customising the Particle Workbench is possible.
* * *
The Particle Web IDE features a **Download app sources** button to download the source code from the cloud.
Now, I would like to upload a project to the Particle Web IDE. How to proceed?
Thank you!

It’s not possible to upload a project. You can only copy and paste code into the Web IDE.
For larger projects, we recommend using Particle Workbench and Github instead of the Web IDE.

Thanks!
Problem is, the Particle Web IDE still supports the RedBear Duo while the Particle Workbench no longer does.

Hey @rei_vilo,
I was able to add support for the redbear duo in Workbench with the following:
```bash
cd ~/.particle/toolchains/deviceOS
git clone https://github.com/redbear/firmware redbearduo
cd redbearduo
git submodule update --init --recursive
mkdir .workbench
nano .workbench/manifest.json
```
Put the following contents in `.workbench/manifest.json`:
```auto
{
"version": "1.0.0",
"toolchains": [
{
"firmware": "deviceOS@source",
"compilers": "gcc-arm@5.3.1",
"debuggers": "openocd@0.11.2-adhoc6ea4372.0",
"platforms": [1],
"scripts": "buildscripts@1.9.2",
"tools": "buildtools@1.1.1"
}
],
"platforms": [
{
"id": 1,
"name": "duo",
"generation": 1
}
]
}
```
In Workbench I set the `Custom Device OS Location` to `~/.particle/toolchains/deviceOS/redbearduo`
Next, I opened created a new Workbench project and I selected the `deviceOS@source` firmware and the `duo` device:
After that, I was able to compile the project for the redbear duo.

> Is there any chance we can keep support for the “core” as part of workbench? realistically, no. that said, you should be able to lean on WB’s support for custom Device OS builds: you’ll need to add / replace the \/.workbench/manifest.json file (depending on the version of Device OS you need to run) with one that looks like: { "version": "1.0.0", "toolchains": [ { "firmware": "deviceOS@source", "compilers": "gcc-arm@5.3.1", …

also worth reminding folks:

> props to @nrobinson2000 for the in-depth reverse engineering there. i need to call out the (hopefully) obvious that a) these files are always updated with each release of Particle Workbench and thus any edits will be lost b) the current implementation will change over time making these instructions inaccurate / obsolete as always, we can only support users engaging with the public interfaces we put out - tweaking internals like this means you are on your own. please plan accordingly pray…

Thank you so much for the detailed procedure. Everything works as expected. Compiling off-line is a safety net when internet is down.
