Hi, I am a little confused on what to click in atom so that the files open in my browser, I tried researching this issue but still don't quite understand where the preview option is like in the tree house workspace, answers are greatly appreciated!

11,394 PointsI found a handy solution to this -
In Atom, you can add an "Open in browser" option. It behaves like the "Preview" button in Workspaces.
1 - When you open Atom, in "Welcome Guide", click on "Ïnstall a package", then "Open Installer".
2 - Search packages for "open in browser".
3 - Select one (I selected the one with the most downloads) & install it.
4 - Right-click on your index.html (or any html file) in Atom, & you will see an option for "Open in browser".
That's it! :)
