Multiple files aren’t supported on the playground.

@andrewbranch You should consider updating the help docs on ts-playground then, it has an extra entry regarding multi-file playgrounds: https://www.typescriptlang.org/play#handbook-15

please consider reopening this. this used to work, otherwise it wouldn't be documented. it also behaves very weird if you use it by showing a default "/input.tsx":

We don't intend to support this in the playground. You can use the Bug Workbench to do multi-file repros.

@RyanCavanaugh Thanks for mentioning that. I wasn't aware of the Bug Workbench before today.

I'm actually still not sure how I can find it without a generalized search engine: there are no search results for "workbench" in the docs:

Update: Here's a link to the workbench documentation page that I found by clicking around more in the playground — it's accessible via the "Help" menu at the top of the playground: https://www.typescriptlang.org/play?#handbook-17

@jsejcksn I searched for multi-file TS Playground and found your answer. I also didn't know about Bug Workbench before. Thanks for your sharing, it's very helpful for my debugging with the latest option verbatimModuleSyntax.
