When in a track, is it possible to carry your workspace code over from one class to the next in the series?

I just finished "How to Make a Website," the first course in the Web Design track. I am starting the second course in the series, "HTML Forms." I was hoping that the workspace input that I'd already done (3 pages — Portfolio, About, Home) and the css coding associated with those pages could be carried over into creating the forms, because I'd like to go ahead and do the work right in the "Contact" page. Is there any way to use the workspace I just used in the last class with all the info in it with this new one?

There's a button on the left navigation bar to launch Workspaces. Here it lists every workspace you've created from within the lessons (up to 100). If you launched a workspace from "How to Make a Website", it should be located there. Instead of starting "HTML Forms" and clicking the "Launch Workspace" button (which will create a new blank one for that lesson), use your previous workspace to follow along.

The Workspaces button wasn't obvious to me for awhile, so when I poked around in there recently and discovered it had saved all of my previous work, I was pretty excited. You can add, remove, and rename whatever you'd like in there. I hope that helps!

Now I'm wondering why there's not a way to mark this with an upscore or assign it "Best Answer" ...? I'm not seeing either option!

This question is in the general category and those aren't available in the general category.

So I'll just need to add them together manually, but at least there's a record of everything! Thanks, Keri Nicole!
