Courses Plus Student 2,207 Pointssafari. I can get workspaces to open elsewhere on the website, launch a new empty workspace but even a copy and paste doesn't work with the preview button.

Courses Plus Student 2,207 PointsOK, I got it working but its a bit of a work around.
Step one, on the left hand menu select the work space Icon.
Step two, start a New workspace and give it a name, "tester" for example
Step 3, make it a front end
Step 4, select the last introduction to workspaces from the last selection window.
Launch it. then, select Index.html from the left window as shown from the video and this should work
