How do I edit the preview image?

Hi.
How do you edit the preview image for your project?
Edit: Or are you able to at all?

How do I edit the preview image?

The preview image, known as the project thumbnail, will be what is on the screen when you save your project in the Scratch Editor.

You can create a sprite that you show with “go to front” when you save your project.
Then when the Green Flag is clicked, hide this sprite.

Alternatively, have what you want the thumbnail to be on the stage. Alter your project slightly - eg. move a script slightly in the editor, and select Save Now.

Alright, I'm having a big problem with this, and don't understand how to go to front without any starting block.

gotofront

it is this block, right?
but what will be its “events” or “control” block

Not
whenclicked
right?





































This thing is eating my head

Make a picture that takes up the screen, and add this script to the image

Just placing a block without a starting block that cannot be connected on the top, like the “When green flag clicked” block and “When this sprite clicked” blocks, doesn't do anything. If you want to make scripts for a thumbnail, then just use these blocks in the thumbnail sprite:
whenclickedgotofrontlayerhide
When you want your thumbnail to be visible, just make the thumbnail sprite show and save the project.
