CodePen should load the start state of the project, and not what's at the end of the video.

I'm having problems following some of the longer lessons. If I just watch them it doesn't stick. But it's also difficult to follow along because CodePen loads the results of the video's work. That spoils the result and creates more work if I want to follow along.

Doing it this way would make it easier to follow along with the video.

Could you load the CodePen of the previous video instead? That should give you the code ready to start the next video.

This is a good idea, Ben. It's actually what I started doing when I got overwhelmed later in the course. I left CodePen open and continued through to the next video.

It turns out that at least the CSS Layout course has "start" and "final" folders in the project files download. I'm not sure about Foundations.

I agree. I currently open workspace in split screen, download the project files, then upload the "start" files to workspace. It's kind of a pain, but it allows me to work along with the video.
