How did Nick get the different port options when Previewing his workspace?

When Nick clicked the Preview icon, he got several options for ports. How did he do that?

If you create a workspace using one of the backend framework environment templates, such as Ruby or Node, the port options appear. Since this lesson uses static HTML pages, there's no reason to have port options for the preview button.

I see. It's funny because this workspace came from the lesson, so it wasn't really possible to create it in this way. But, I'm thinking he had to create it like this because of the issue with the video tag described in the teachers notes in the first lesson. Anyway, good to know for the future.
