Did you get an answer to your problem? I am having the same issue but only when I try and view my work. It saves what I have changed but will only show the original file when I try to view my changes.

Hi Lorenzo Lancia , I did not get any reply from the forum but i did a few things on my own and it worked. 1) When you click on launch workspace then select "Launch Different Workspace" and select existing if you have created one, or else create a new one. 2) On the left pane..right click on the Workspace name and hit on refresh once or twice. Try it and let me know

Abdul, thank you for your response. I tried your suggestions and still get the same result. I even tried to copy paste onto a new workspace and still get the same preview. All I have changed is the name in the head and the color of the head font, but neither of these seem to show.

Lorenzo Lancia, did you try clearing the cookies from the browser. Try to reload the workspace and when your file opens in the browser try hitting refresh (in the workspace file directory & the browser). I must agree that the Workspace is not that efficient as it doesn't respond to the changes immediately.....In the meantime what i would suggest is that you can create the same directory structure locally and can use any of the editors like notepad++/sublime text and follow along the video.
