When I make edits in the workspace it doesn't save

why is this? Sometimes it saves, but not in real time. And sometimes all my previous work is deleted. Is this supposed to happen? Thanks!

I can't give you the answer why this is happening. But I can tell you that it shouldn't.

Is there a difference between saving the file with the shortcut CTRL + S / CMD + S and saving it via dropdown-menu "File" -> "Save"? Are you sure that you has selected the correct tab while saving it?

Have you ever tried using the "Save All"-Functionality (CTRL + ALT + S/CMD + ALT + S)?

I realized that I was getting a new workspace after every lesson, and the old workspaces were saved when I dug a little deeper.

I think this is not ideal, since every lesson is building off the previous one, but at least I found out what was happening.

Thanks for your help Manuel!

Your welcome, I hope you could fix your problem.

Try looking at your internet connection, it could have problems saving if your connection is bad.
