The link that you’ve shared does not exist. Either the student hasn’t saved their sketch or they’ve shared the wrong link after saving it. Furthermore, [this link](https://editor.p5js.org/24fullem/sketches) should’ve redirected to your student’s sketch folder(even if it was empty) but the link shows that such account does not exist.

If you are looking for a collaborative editor where you can see your students working live on their code, other teachers on this forum have already discussed it in one such thread

> Hi all, I teach a course in p5.js and my students are currently remote because of the pandemic. I’m looking for an editor/IDE that would allow students to all code in the same document at the same time. Essentially I’m looking for something that would function like Google Docs does, where when one person makes a change, everyone else can see that change taking place in real time. Does such a thing exist for p5? And if it doesn’t exist for p5, does it exist for Processing, perhaps? Thanks!

Hope this helps! ☺
