How to launch a new workspace that goes with the current lesson, if I deleted something by mistake. Do I need to restart

I made a mistake and deleted something I believe was a duplicated statement. I've been erring out when check my work every time I added new code. When I relaunch I get the same code I had when I left. How do I regain a fresh copy so my screen looks like the instructors. I need to reset my starting point every time a new video is started. So I am always working on same code as the lesson. It seen if I continue like this I will continue to compound the error. I feel I am keeping up with the lesson minus the workspace. Problem being I am not sure if its a old or current mistake that is keeping my current code from working properly. Any suggestions or do I need to start from video one?

If you go to the Workspace management page (https://teamtreehouse.com/workspaces), you can delete the busted workspace, after which you should be able to re-create the course Workspace from any course page that involves that Workspace, which will re-generate a new Workspace for you from that courses Workspace template. Note that any other customizations you've made on top of that courses Workspace template will also be lost, so you may want to download the Workspace before you delete it, just in case :).

I actually believe I will make it worse! I see workspaces with sub files not sure which is messing me up. Its getting overly complicated and frustrating to say the least. This is my second day and I don't even know how to download the workspace except via the link provided on the video. Are there any step by step instructions or should I have watched a video on how to use your site. Is there a video to walk me through this? HELP!

Hey Jesus,

We have a Workshop that talks about how to get the most out of Workspaces if you're interested: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/using-treehouse-workspaces. If you want to download a workspace, you can do so by looking at the bottom of the File menu, where the "Download Workspace" option is.
