Is my workspace working correctly?

Following along with the video, once on workspace I made the same changes in the styles.css section as the video showed. When viewing "Jane Smith's Profile" I did not see the color change result. Just wanting to know if this on me or something else. Thank you

Be sure to CTRL + S to save any changes or File + Save to save any changes. Also would help to show a snapshot of your work.

Thanks Tyrone Roberts , this is a fairly common issue - and one that we'll hopefully be a bit more clear about soon! Ricardo Resendiz , you'll want to make sure that you're always saving your progress and changes in workspaces before you refresh your browser window.

With your workspaces window open, click on "File" in the top navigation menu, and select "Save" or "Save All" at the bottom of the list. You should also be able to see the browser shortcuts for your operating system there!

For quick reference, if you're using the Windows you'll want to hold down the "Control" key and press the letter "S" on your keyboard - you may see this written as CTRL + S (as Tyrone helpfully pointed out!). If you're like me and use a Mac, you'll want to press the "Command" key (it may have the ⌘ symbol on it) and the letter "S". We sometimes just shorten it to ⌘ + S, or Cmd+S.

Hopefully this works for you!
