Workspace saves

I was working in my workspace then had to stop working for awhile, a message popped up that said my session was paused due to inactivity. I clicked "continue working" but it erased everything. It didn't actually save or pause my work. Which wasn't much, but still. Is this common?

I've had this happen to me too. I've made it a habit to always save my workspaces before I leave the screen so I don't forget about it.

All I can say as somebody who spends alot of time having to work with computers prone to crashing. You should aim to save things every 10/15 minutes depending on how much work you're actually doing. Also if possible create a back up in case you lose the file altogether.

As another point most videos on here will have zip files you can download with the code completed up to the point of the video so if you need to fetch anything back it's easy enough to retrieve what you need.
