When I launch the workspace, after making changes they do not change on the preview. Am I doing something wrong?

I thought the workspace was to allow you to make changes and view the changes.

Hi Alan,

Perhaps you need to make sure and save the HTML, CSS or any other file you're working on before clicking to preview the page in a browser?

Good luck!

What the others have said. you must always save your work before any changes will appear on the refreshed web page.

If there is an orange dot next to the tab in the workspaces it means your file is not saved. Save the file and then preview it and you should be good !
