Where can i get an up to date workspace for this video??

I find the way workspaces works on Treehouse ridiculous. For this video, I don't want to do the workspaces for the videos before but want to for this one but can't because when I open it is is empty, because it needs to already have been filled when looking at the previous videos. There should be two versions every time: one that was started by the student from the beginning of the course and one that is already up to date if one wants to simply follow along from this point on. Not that hard to do... Does anyone know how I can get my hands on an up to date workspace for this video (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/bootstrap-4-basics/building-forms-with-bootstrap/form-groups-and-form-controls)? Thanks

Hi Dekin,

We're sorry to hear of any troubles. When opening the Workspace for that video linked, there are image files and an html file listed. If you're seeing a blank Workspace, it could be that one was previously opened so opening another will be blank. You can also download the project files from the Downloads link below the video if you want to use a different code editor, or add them to the new blank one. We hope this helps!

Best, Kara

Thanks Kara,

Unfortunately I must have expressed myself in a clumsy way: I did not say the workspace was blank but "empty", the difference that I meant to convey was that the version the teacher starts the video with has many more lines of code than the one I get when I click on my worspace. This is because one must start filling the workspace already in earlier videos and pick it up from the last video watched to follow along with this video (I hope this was clearer, but I am also relying on the fact that you know how the site works). But I didn't follow along with workspaces in the last videos, so now I must go back and do everything all over again to have a functional workspaces for this video. I find this very irritating since I should be able to either go from where I last left off if I have been following along, or open an up to date workspace so I can directly pick it up from the same point as the teacher is using. This is particularly frustrating as it would be technically extremely easy for you guys to do. And what is more frustrating is that I have to go back all the way to the "Layout in Bootstrap" video, many many videos back...
