Why does my workspace disappear after I view it in a browser? How do I return to my work without restarting?

In the tutorial, the instructor is able to save, view, then return to the workspace. Mine just disappears and sends me to the next lesson.

It would be interesting to know how you view the videos and use the workspace. Here is what I'm doing.

I'm using Chrome on a Win 7 PC.

  1. I start with Chrome running with one tab open. I'm watching the video then I pause it to click 'Launch Workspace'.

  2. This starts what appears to be a stripped down version of Chrome. This is the Workspace where we see and edit files. I see 2 distinct 'applications' in Task Manager. 'Treehouse Workspaces - Google Chrome' and Chrome with the title of the page I am viewing.

  3. Then if I click 'Preview Workspace' from within the Workspace app, a 2nd tab is opened in my original Chrome browser.

So there it is. I have 3 distinct locations. I can watch and pause the video in tab#1. Add and edit files in the workspace and view the results of my changes in tab #2.

BUT...

One thing I do see almost daily is this...

Workspace Lost

Is this what you mean?
