Follow along with Workspaces shows Nick's screen not mine

In the 2nd video of intro to web development, Nick instructs the viewer to launch Workspaces. I did that and typed in code as instructed. However, when I click on preview button in my window for Workspaces, I see Nick's info, not the info I typed. Any idea why that is?

Thank you to Tania and Bill. I did both refresh and save my work yesterday. Today, the preview functionality is working.

Hi Rosanne,

I believe the reason for this problem is because you forgot to save your content before previewing. You'll need to press Ctrl+S or click on File at the top of the workspace and then click Save before you can preview your newest workspace content.

An easy way to tell if you haven't saved your work yet is a little orange dot on your current tab.

Best of luck here on Treehouse and please let me know if this was helpful.
