Bootstrap 4 Basics: Scrollspy not activating

This is for the video on using scrollspy to highlight on the navbar. I have followed Guil's code to a T, but I still cannot get scrollspy to work. It currently only highlights "Home", skips over "About" and highlights "Speaker", does not highlight "Schedule".

Could anyone help me identify what I may be overlooking? Here is my full code from Workspaces as a reference:

Hi Eric,

At the end of About you need another </div>. Should be: </div> </div> </div><!-- /about -->

Also you've omitted <data-offset="100">. Should be: <body id="home" data-spy="scroll" data-target=".navbar" data-offset="100">

Michael

Thanks Michael Ward! Actually the missing closing div is what did the trick. It still works without adding the data-offset="100" portion. I re-checked the video and Gil does not have it included either.

Very much appreciate your help with this!
