Browse, open, edit, and publish Dataverse web resources directly from VS Code — with full syntax highlighting, Ctrl+S save-to-Dataverse, and one-click publish.
Features
Categorized tree view — web resources grouped by type (Scripts, Styles, HTML, Images, Data, Other) with virtual folder navigation derived from the Dataverse name path
Lazy loading — category contents are only fetched when you expand them; zero API calls on tree open
Open as linked document — clicking a web resource opens it as a proper editor tab with a stable URI, syntax highlighting, and the correct filename in the tab title
Save to Dataverse — Ctrl+S writes the updated content back to Dataverse automatically
Publish prompt on save — after every Ctrl+S save a notification asks whether to publish; dismiss it with "Not now" to save without publishing
Save and Publish button — the $(cloud-upload) button in the editor title bar saves and publishes in a single action, skipping the prompt
Solution filtering — respects the active solution and managed/unmanaged filter set in the explorer
