Updating the csv in Plotly Studio? Sharing an app

Plotly Studio

Hi,

How do you update the CSV in a Plotly Studio app?

Can you share an app with someone (not the live dashboard) but the actual code/prompts?

Thanks,

hi @Chip_Alexandru
Right now, the way to share with others the prompt or code snippets is to copy them from inside the app.

What do you mean by updating the CSV? You want Plotly Studio to modify the csv you give it?

Updating the data set (manually). I work with a sample of the data and once the app is done, use the full data set

I don’t think you can reload another dataset to the app once it’s done.

Any workaround for this? Even if it means writing code? Thanks.

I’ve managed to update the data, but it’s a workaround and Mac specific. It’s already an early access app, but be mindful of the incremental risk of messing with the files it doesn’t yet give us a GUI way to change. That said, I’ve had no issues, though my data is exactly the same with more rows.

  1. Go to ~/Library/Application Support/. (Library is hidden by default, so you may need to change that.)
  2. Select com.plotly-studio.app. Right click and then click “Show Package Contents”. (Dev Note: this is named with the .app extension, which makes macOS interpret it as an app bundle, but that may be a naming bug. It’s not a real app bundle, and it’s placed in a folder that doesn’t have app bundles in it.)
  3. In that folder, go to uploads/.
  4. Inside, there are folders named with UUIDs (8-4-4-4-12 hex values). Find the one for your project. Since it’s macOS, an easy way is to quicklook the app_config.json file to see information that should help identify the intended project.
  5. Go into that previously-identified UUID folder and then the data/ subfolder. Replace the file there. I haven’t tested this, but you could probably drop another data file alongside it and then edit the file name in the app in Setup:Data:Code.
