I have a PsychoPy experiment currently collecting data on Pavlovia, but I’m leaving my lab and need to transfer to experiment to another member. How can I give someone the local PsychoPy folder so that they can push edits to Pavlovia, without interrupting the status of the experiment on Pavlovia?

Also, the local PsychoPy experiment is on my device via a shared Dropbox folder, so when the folder is unsahred, will that impact the Pavlovia experiment or any future pushes?

Thanks!

If you add someone else as a maintainer then they should be able to sync the experiment to their own device.
