Is there a way for students to save their sprites in CSD? I have students who have spent a lot of effort creating a great sprite but can’t access it later. I’ve told them to use [Piskelapp.com](http://Piskelapp.com) but they forget.

I don’t think this is directly possible right now. They could take a screen shot but will have to cut out the background in another program. Maybe change the background to some really different color so that they can use a photoshop like program to select that color and delete it.
