Why I can't access my full workspace in the challenges?

I can't switch to responsive.css to answer the challenge, I completed it but by editing main.css and it's an inelegant solution to say the least.

The video is just separating it out for easy teaching purposes, in the challenge you're meant to add it to the main.css. That's why it's already set up with the media query in that file. You don't create files in the challenges, only edit the ones presented to you. The fact it's not quite the same as the video just adds to the challenge aspect. There's no rule that says media queries should be in a separate file and in fact in most cases they aren't and shouldn't be.

Not sure what you mean, workspaces and challenges are two different things and you shouldn't need the workspaces to complete the challenges. Are you using your workspaces as reference?

I was trying to do the responsive css challenge, and in the video you create a new file responsive.css and you work from there. But the challenge page didn't automatically create it and I don't see a button to create the file. I'm stuck putting the css code in the bottom of main.css wich is really crowded and doesn't scale well.
