I am having the problem of not being able to get my edits to show.

In the workspace I when I click the view I cannot get my edits to show, it just shows the original piece. I made simple edits to start, did a save all, refresh, renamed it to something different and I still cannot get them to show up. It still shows the original copy. I am missing some steps somewhere, but not sure what.

OK, thanks to all for the helpful tips. The trick of this was to refresh the document I made and after doing so I was able to see my changes. Thanks to all for the assist.

If you are renaming, be sure to open a new view window. Also, you may try a hard refresh. This refreshes the cache from the page. (mac: cmd + shft + R) (widnows: ctrl + f5)

I am having the exact same problem and even refreshing doesn't change the original to my edited version. What could be wrong?

Are you refreshing the workspace page or the page with Joy's story? I fixed my problem by refreshing the page Joy's story was on and it displayed mine after reloading.

Hi I am having the same problem, I tried refreshing the story page and tried both Chrome and Safari but it still didn't work. Here is what I changed in line 11:

h2 {text-align: center; color: red}

But the name Joy Kesten still appear to be pink. Please help. Thanks.

Happened to me too; realized you have to save your work each time and then when you click view the changes appear. Hope it helps!

I was having the same problem. Thank you to all for the answers.

If anyone is still stuck I found that the following helps on a mac:

  1. Edit what you need to on Workspace
  2. Press (cmd+s) to save
  3. Click preview
  4. Press (cmd +r) to refresh the browser

Changes should appear.

A good way to tell if the work has been saved....

Between steps 1. and 2. a small orange dot may appear next to the file name of your document inside the actual tab which is open. I believe it indicates that the work has been edited but not yet saved. After saving the work (step 2.) the dot should disappear.

Thanks ashja. These steps worked. I tried refreshing and then clicking preview, which had no effect. Preview first and then refresh did the trick :)
