Why is Sass saying "Undefined Mixin"?

I'm writing this mixin and the command says " Undefined mixin skewed' "when I use the mixin like this: @include skewed;

@mixin skewed {
  content: '';
  display: block;
  width: 100%;
  height: 50px;
  position: absolute;
  transform: skewY(-2deg);
}

Hi there,

I wonder if it's as simple as adding the @include directive after the mixin declaration. If you put the @include above the Mixin Sass won't recognise it as it hasn't yet been defined in the code.

Good luck! :-)

You were right sir. I just put it at the top and it worked. Interesting because on the video that did not affect it. Thank you for helping
