I am unable to launch work space. I signed out after I lost my index.html folder. How do I retrieve this

So the question in is how do you retrieve the saved folder in the work space. Yes I had saved this folder now the folder is not there. Do I now need to create the folder again and recode the file.

Hey Cheri,

Sorry to hear that you lost your progress, I don't believe there is a way to retrieve deleted Workspace folders. But next time it is probably good practice to fork (to make an identical copy of the folder) your Workspace project when adding/building to your project it makes backtracking or identifying the original code easier.

The fork button is located next to the Workspace folder's Settings button.

Also inside of the Workspace folder, if code was deleted it is not possible to retrieve after the Workspace folder is closed through Undo and Redo. Therefore it is also good practice to get comfortable using keyboard shortcuts such as Copy, Paste, Undo and Redo. This makes experimenting and implementing code faster.

Hope this helps ;)

Hi Cheri,

Sorry I'm misunderstanding here but do you mean you can't find how to get back to your saved Workspace or you forgot to save?

If you mean you can't get back to it, have you tried clicking on the Workspaces link in the left navigation (just under the forum link) as this will list your Workspaces currently in progress.

Thanks

-Rich
