Can not see More actions in My Projects menu

Hi,
I am new to App Inventor, so I want to upload a ZIP file, and can’t do it. Tutorial says: To upload a .zip file as a new App Inventor project, go to “My Projects” and click “More Actions” --> “Upload Source”.

But there is no More Actions in this section, see pic.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

I think you are reading an old documentation for the previous version. App Inventor 2 uses .aia files.
You have to use the option “IMPORT PROJECT (AIA) FROM MY COMPUTER” to upload a project.

which tutorial are you using? any link?
you might want to follow the App Inventor 2 tutorials...

A very good way to learn App Inventor is to read the free Inventor's Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook http://www.appinventor.org/book2 ... the links are at the bottom of the Web page. The book 'teaches' users how to program with AI2 blocks.
There is a free programming course here http://www.appinventor.org/content/CourseInABox/Intro and the aia files for the projects in the book are here: http://www.appinventor.org/bookFiles
How to do a lot of basic things with App Inventor are described here: http://www.appinventor.org/content/howDoYou/eventHandling .

Also do the tutorials Our Tutorials! to learn the basics of App Inventor, then try something and follow the Top 5 Tips: How to learn App Inventor

That's the link. Thanks for replies. I wonder why they keep manual pages for AI version 1, while there is currently version 2 only.

Thanks, the problem is solved. I now need to post one more, regarding HEX values to send.

Thanks for the report. I’ve filed as an issue to update the documentation to reflect the AI2 interface:
