I am wanting to create a Shortcut for my students that are using iPads in cart-based set up. I currently have one built that will build grade-level folders, then place a specific file in each folder. I would like to do the same for Swift Playgrounds as well, specifically, the Learn to Code 1 book. I cannot find where these are stored on the iPad to call it in the Shortcut. I am using the Move File option in Shortcuts to get the file from Files, make a copy, and then move the file. The end result of the Shortcut would be for the student to push a Home page button for the Shortcut to run, ask the student’s name, and then rename the Learn to Code 1 with the student’s name, and then drop it in Swift Playgrounds and/or the Files app correct grade-level folder.
The iPads are not able to be set to shared iPad format, as they are used in multiple domains.
Thank you for any ideas or thoughts you might have on where these files are stored.

Hi Patrickr3id28 - Swift Playgrounds is such a great way to introduce learning to code!
To answer your question, those files are located at <iCloud folder>/Playgrounds
For example, e.g. <iCloud folder>/Playgrounds/Learn to Code 1.playgroundbook
However - one quick note - the files/folder are not in place until you download the app the first time, but once you've done that, you can count on the files to be there and can work with them in Shortcuts.
