I've tried everything I can think of. I downloaded the stupid files onto my computer and tried to drag them, or cut and paste them into the workspace. It doesn't work, and there is no sidebar like there is in the demo video. I've gone through the exercise three times, typed the code and cut and pasted the whatever you call 'ems. Checked my work and it said was doing great (load of crap), then when I go back to watch the stupid video to try to figure out how to do this correctly, then go back to my work - it's gone. This sucks!
I'm dead in the water. Any one care to help?
Thank You!

Courses Plus Student 1,576 PointsHello Wolfgang, Thank You so much for your reply. I was excited. I thought that surely this is the answer, but no. I see the menu bar that you're talking about in the demo video, but when I go to the workspaces screen to do my tasks there is no such menu bar on top - nothing where I could select "view". I am using Google Chrome. Hope to hear from you again soon. Thanks Again.

10,845 PointsOkay, just to clarify, are you talking about working on the project in Workspaces or are you working on a code challenge exercise? If this is just for the code challenge, then keep in mind that the files an exercise calls for exist already in the environment of the challenge and you just need write the code to reference them. So for the code challenge, adding this image tag (inside the li tags, inside the ul tag, inside the section tag), will work by itself already, with no need to upload anything.
<li><img src="numbers-01.jpg" alt="" /></li>
There is a place to click in the exercise to preview the result to check that it works. So if this is actually the problem, then just realize that the files are already there in the temporary environment of the exercise.
On the other hand if this is for Workspaces itself on a project, try "Ctr + Shift + H" (win) or "Cmd + Shift + H" (mac) to display the sidebar. I would also try it out on a different browser.
If none of that helps, let me know. Sorry if my first post was referring to the wrong problem; I may have had a semantic misunderstanding of the term 'workspace'. Hope this helps out!
