4,731 PointsHi Christopher,
My apologies for any inconvenience caused. If a document (such as an index.html file) is deleted and the Workspace is subsequently saved, the document will not be able to be retrieved. The file will need to be recreated if this is the case. I'm sorry, I hate to be the bearer of bad news. This can also be a great opportunity to review what you have learned and continue to hone your new skills, as with all things, practice makes perfect! (or at least with coding, practice means you get closer to fewer bugs ;)
Additionally, remembering to save your Workspace to a local file may also be a good habit to get into.

3,163 PointsKindly relaunch your WorkSpace just beneath the video, the index.html file should be there automatically. OR check below the lecture where the html tutorial was undertaken, you should see the files to download in a zip folder. You can re-download the complete zipped file, extract the index.html from the zipped folder to your local computer. Then, create a new index.html in your LAUNCH WORKSPACE, copy the source file from the index.html on your local computer, then paste in the new html file you've created and save it. It should be fine.
NOTE: to view source of the index.html on your local computer, kindly open index.html on your browser, then right click on any whitespace, click view page source. A new window would open, that is the source code to copy.
I hope this help.
Thanks
