Add/edit a readme.md

stefano_pidutti

I have noticed that in the last versions of Bitbucket cloud it is no longer possible to add nor to edit a readme.md file. In the settings I have set the overview as default page and yet there is only the source page. The overview page does not exist. So the current guide explaining how to add a readme file at a later time is outdated.

Is there an issue, or am I missing something?

Hi Stefano, welcome to the Community!

As you said, the UI has changed, so the way to add the Readme has changed a bit as well. If you're creating a new repository, you'll be asked if you want to include a Readme during the creation process:

If you want to add a Readme to an already existing repo, then you can do that from the 'Source' section by clicking on the Ellipsis menu ( . . . ) > Add file:

Let us know if you have any questions, we'll be happy to continue helping you.

Kind regards,

Ana
