Preview not working?!

I'm only able to see my changes once I save my Workspace and then Download workspace. Whenever I click preview, the updated changes do not reflect? I am using Chrome.

When you say you save workspace and then download workspace: in order to view any changes, you need to save, and you are doing that. However, I don't follow about downloading workspaces. Are you downloading the files to work in your own text editor?

I download the file and open index.html in Chrome and only then am I able to see the preview as expected. When I simply click preview within Workspaces, I do not see the changes to my webpage.

Ok, so one more question. Are you downloading your own file from workspaces? or the completed one from downloads underneath the video section?

Definitely my own file from Workspaces. NOT the completed one from downloads underneath video section.

So then it's not a problem with your code. I almost always use my own text editor. The online ones like workspaces seem a bit glitchy sometimes. It's a bit more work getting set up, but it's kinda more fun. Not that all editors don't have their own quirks...they do. Maybe you could run it by tech support.
