My workspace is glitching.

I launched my workspace, everything looks okay. When I hit preview, it doesn't show the items I added to it. I copied and pasted the code to my notepad, saved it as .htm, and previewed it on Chrome. It works fine.

Here's the thing, it would be cumbersome to have to save the codes and then preview it in Chrome when the workspace should be the done doing the job.

Also, what is the download workspace for? Does this mean I can have my own workspace software? If so, what program should I use to open it?

The download option is for downloading all the files you've created in the workshop onto your computer.

Just make sure your HTML & CSS are saved every time you go to view in the browser, and just refresh to page.

The changes are always saved prior to previewing it on the browser. I'm really uncertain if it's glitching on Treehouse or on my end.

Have you tried turning off caching? When I'm previewing from a workspace, I leave chrome devtools open, where I have the option to not cache anything set so that chrome always fetches all of the source files from the web server.

Thanks for the responses. What I did was I created a new workspace and pasted the codes there. It then directed me to a table where there's a link to the code files. I clicked on it and it showed my code. I'll update you if it malfunctions again.
