Navigating an interview

There are four experiences you might see while taking an interview:

1. Coderbyte's default code editor
2. Whiteboard powered by Miro
3. Spreadsheet powered by Google
4. Jupyter Notebook with options for R, Python, and Scala
5. VS Code Editor

Coderbyte's default code editor

When coding in Coderbyte's default editor, the Interview screen is split into four sections:

1. The toolbar lets you change languages, view and hide the filetree and/or instructions, and enable a database and/or terminal. The following languages are available:
   
   
2. The filetree and instructions indicate what prompt you have been given by the interviewer. You can add, remove, and duplicate files. You can also type notes into the instructions textbox.
3. The editor for writing your code. You can toggle light/dark mode, enable Vim or Emacs, and have access to auto-complete. The editor is collaborative so multiple people can type simultaneously.
   
4. The output logs and optional terminal to run your code.
