Workspaces seems slow to update at times... I can usually get the browser to refresh by closing any previous previews and clicking on a new one. Another student was having similar problems and resolved it by "on a Mac I held down Shift and clicked the Refresh arrow in the browser's toolbar". I think F5 on Windows is supposed to do the same thing.

Basically what seems to be happening is the browser is getting the page from the cache (the last version is saved) instead or loading the page from the source, so it's not seeing your most recent changes.

Hey Mateo!

Sorry for any troubles you're experiencing. Sometimes a clearing of your browser's cache and cookies will do the trick. Other times a plugin could be the issue. You can test this by using a private viewing window/incognito window to disable them and if the Workspace opens as expected, then you may have to locate the troublesome plugin by testing one by one disabling/enabling, etc.

If neither of these work, please send Support an email at help@teamtreehouse.com with your Workspace text editor URL (ends in a number), and your browser and OS versions, and we'll be happy to assist. Thanks!
