Good question, and I agree that this particular code challenge could be worded a little bit better.
The challenge is not asking you to modify CSS that has been pre-written. It is asking you to add new CSS that targets the Unordered List of the Nav section.
Then, once you've added the new CSS selectors that directly target the ul within the nav, it is asking you to remove the top/bottom margins and modify the left/right margins with new css.
I think you can handle the challenge from here, but let me know if you need further assistance.
Happy coding.

margin: top right bottom left
would be the order the code goes in
nav ul {
margin: 0 10px 0 10px;
}

553 Pointsit seems as though every time i go to do the new challenge, though, its not carrying over any of the new code i wrote in on the last challenge? is this normal? so, because each time i do a challene it is so far behind im just copying and pasting my whole workspace over.... meaning i dont need to do the challenge... but i'd like to be doing them properly to test myself!

7,242 PointsIf you are referring to the various steps within a challenge, then yes it should carry over between steps. I just tested this and it seems to be working.
If you are referring to code transferring over between individual challenges that are spread throughout a course, then no the code should typically not transfer, and that is by design.
You shouldn't need code from one challenge later on in the course to complete another challenge.
Does this help?

14,271 PointsYou aren't suppose to remove the code you previously wrote. If you remove the code it will say the previous task isn't working any longer. You must only add on to the code. You may always reCheck work without having to go to the previous step.
