Is the workspace overwriting the code we write?

I just noticed that the code I found inside my files for this specific video it's different from the one I originally wrote in the previous videos/ workspaces.

Does this mean that the workspace is overwriting what the students are typing? If so, why? Maybe I chose to use different names for my variables or write the code in a different manner and now it's all lost.

Hi there! It shouldn't be unless a new workspace is generated. Have you tried clicking on the "Workspaces" link at the top of this page? My guess is that you'll find a PHP workspace very similar to the one you see now except that it will contain your code. Many times a new workspace is generated so that everyone is at the same place with the same variables. My suggestion is to look through your older workspaces and see if you can find it there.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

Oh, ok. I got it. For the other tracks the Workspace didn't have a new code for every video so I guess that's the case here. Thank you.
