Show your actual code and maybe we can help. Even better, make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.

The workspace, including the console, is replicated when you "fork snapshot".

The syntax error is caused by unmatched parentheses in the "hello.py" file (which is not a "folder"):

print("Hello, World"   # as in the snapshot
print("Hello, World")  # fixed
