Update load scripts directly against Qlik Cloud

Last updated: 10/27/2026

After signing in, the extension loads spaces, apps, and QVF script assets into the Qlik Cloud tree in the Visual Studio Code Explorer. Opening one of these entries opens a cloud-backed document. The extension fetches the current script content from Qlik Cloud when the file is read.

Locking and unlocking the script for editing

Do the following:

1. In the VS Code Explorer, expand Qlik Cloud.

2. Find an application (or QVF script asset), and right-click it.

3. Select one of the following:

   • Unlock remote editing: Unlocking remote editing allows you to directly edit the load script.

   • Lock remote editing: Locking remote editing is done on an unlocked script when you are done with making edits and want to re-lock the script to make it read-only again.

Alternatively, click the resource to open its script in read-only mode, and then select Unlock remote editing in the popup that appears.

Saving the load script after remote editing

After you have made your desired edits, save the load script to update it in Qlik Cloud.

Do the following:

• Use the VS Code Save option, either through the menu bar, a keyboard shortcut, or the Command Palette.

After the script is updated, you are notified in a popup that appears.
