Elvira Gonzalez can you try making another change and see if the preview doesn't reflect that either. You can also copy and paste your code here to check for syntax errors.

Hi Julian-

I figured it out! I realized I had to save it first then refresh the preview workspace. Is there a shortcut key to save the edits made on the HTML and CSS files? And a short cut to refresh the preview workspace?

On Windows I use ctrl + s to save workspace and f5 or ctrl + r to reload the browser window to show changes.
