Any chance you could add your code? Much easier to try and help if you do!

ok i found the problem. After i click the preview button, i just needed to reload the preview page. Thanks for the help!

Also be sure to watch if your page is cached, Copy the link to the preview and open it in private browsing.

<p> just quick enough to slam it behind me only to watch the glass get covered in a slimy layer of slobber. As I held the door closed with my makeshift peg leg against the door I realized that my broom handle wasn't a broom handle at all but in my sleepy fog I had mistakenly fashioned a peg leg out of the nearest dog bone. As I lay there attempting to catch my breath and laughing at the stupidity of my mistake to fashion a peg leg so carelessly. I figure I ought to make an appointment to see a doctor.</p>

Hey Dino Santos,

Have you saved the workspace. If there is a orange dot on it then, it is unsaved. Press ctrl + s for windows or cmd + s for mac to save the workspace. Hopefully this helps.

The orange dot means it is UNSAVED. Press ctrl + s or cmd + s and it should change on the preview.
