There are two ways in which you can use Pymakr online.

1. Go to [your device](https://pybytes.pycom.io/devices) and select the `Pymakr Online` tab. This method allows you to make quick changes to the Python code on your device and upload it.

* On the left we see the files. Depending on where you started, the online environment will first load with the files you last used. If the device is online, it will automatically try to `Refresh Hierarcy` and synchronise the content. You can click the `Refresh Hierarcy` icon next to your device name to manually update the online filestructure. The online editor will automatically try to connect.

1. Now that you know how to use the Pymakr Online environment, we can create a project (if you have not already). If you just followed the example above, go to the [Pymakr](https://pybytes.pycom.io/pymakr#) tab and click on `Import from Existing Device`.

2. Select your device and either `Retrieve from Cloud` or `Request from device`, depending on where the latest version of your code is. This will load the hierarchy and bring up the Pymakr Online interface.

||||
4. Refresh hierarchy. That will request the device its hierarchy, in case the files structure has been changed.
|
||||
5. Download file. That will request the file from the device, forcing the download of it. Warning: that will override your changes in case you haven't uploaded the file to the device.

Pymakr Online can be opened in two different ways:

### 1. from the device page, which will open Pymakr Online linked to that device
