Description

Increasing Access

In https://github.com/processing/p5.js-web-editor/issues/3513#event-18284147291, we changed the behaviour of the p5.sound toggle because switching from 1.x to 2.x prevented you from using the new p5.sound.

Once 2.x is default and people are likely switching major versions less often, we discussed in the previous issue how this behaviour might again be desirable so that it's easier for users to try out different versions while being able to quickly go back to what they started with.

Feature enhancement details

We can undo some of the changes in this if need be: https://github.com/processing/p5.js-web-editor/pull/3522

Research direction

Start by reviewing issue 3513 and pull request 3522 to understand the earlier p5.sound toggle behavior and the changes made for the version transition. Then locate the current toggle behavior in the editor and verify that, once p5.js 2.x is the default, users can restore the last p5.sound version they used. Done means the toggle supports switching versions and returning to the previous version as described.
