How to preview my own coding using workspace?

I want to use the coding I've been learning (html & css) into practice and use the workspace to do this. But when I preview my code I get an 'index of' page. I emailed support and they said it's all working? and to try asking on here. I remember something about adding something into the console? But I can't remember what it is, or where the video is about it.

By default, the preview will show "index.html" if one is present, or the directory ("index of" page) if it is not. Make sure your HTML file has that name.

If that's not the issue, you can make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here, then we can take a closer look.

You have an "index.html" file, but it is currently in the "pages" subdirectory. Move it to the main directory and it will be displayed when you start the preview.
