change background-color

I tried to change the background-color from #e2e2e2 into the blue, but there is no change on the website. What is going on?

To see changes you make in the workspace reflected in the preview, you must do two things:

  • first save your editor changes (with Ctrl-S or using the menu)
  • then refresh your browser

thanks

Glad I could help. What about you, Dylan Xia — did that resolve your issue also?

Hey Dylan, do you mind posting the code that you're having trouble with? That will help us figure out what's going on! :)

"first save your editor changes (with Ctrl-S or using the menu)"

  • This is some pretty valuable and useful information that should've been included in the video. Especially as it can clearly be seen that this is a recurrent question. Thank you for the answer!

There is a course (or workshop?) about using the workspaces. I believe it's covered there.
