I feel like i'm really left out here. I don't think Guil said much about it for newbie like me who are just hearing it for the first time. Is it something vital for my learning at this stage? Anybody?

I do not think it is something vital. Not at this point. Everything he is saying is that for now, we have all the website content (images, etc) stored in the workspaces. If you download the content of workspaces to work with your own text editor, the content will the stored in your computer, then you will need to redirect the links to the folder in which your content is stored. Once in the future you store the content in some server outside of your computer, just do not forget to change the link paths.
