Feedback: Would be helpful to get challenge answer if stuck instead of having to reach out to community each time.

Is there a way to give above feedback to Treehouse? When I can't complete a challenge, it would be nice to have a "I give up, show answer". Too cumbersome, time-consuming to go to the community each time. Cheat sheets don't always have answer. Also, when I did complete the challenge correctly, would like to see my correct answer instead of going directly to next question or completion of challenge page.

Not completing a challenge doesn't cause you to be "stuck". You can simply skip ahead by clicking on the next circle in the stage bar across the top of the page. You can also go to the course index and use it to jump to any specific course page.

And I'm not sure a challenge answer would be very useful outside of the challenge, but you can always copy-paste it to a notepad or other editor before you "Check Work" to save it.

You can give feedback directly to the staff as described on the Support page.

By "stuck", I mean unable to complete the challenge, which means I am not getting the answer and would like to know the answer so I know how to do it correctly. Sometimes I am guessing and get the correct answer, but then I can't see what I put to review it if it is the last challenge.

Yes, that would be a reason to copy them before running the validator. But I'd also suggest that if you're guessing so wildly that you don't recall what you did, then you may not have gotten the benefit of the instruction quite yet and further review could be beneficial.

Also, sometimes if you just press on the concepts will "click" in later lessons and then you can return to the challenge and complete it.
