Summary

Replit is transitioning its editable embedded Repls to a read-only format starting August 1st due to concerns over abuse, security risks like clickjacking, and the disproportionate maintenance required for a small user base. This change aims to prevent server overload and enhance security by eliminating the potential for malicious code interactions. While live embeds will become non-editable, existing embedded Repls will still be functional in a read-only capacity. Educators who previously relied on embedded Repls are encouraged to transition to Replit Teams for Education, a comprehensive and now free tool that offers features for managing programming assignments. The platform provides a more integrated and efficient teaching solution, with available training to assist educators in making the shift.
