If you're using the workspaces, you must do two things to see your changes on the preview. First, you must save your changes using the menu or the Ctrl-S shortcut. There will be an orange dot on the tab to remind you of unsaved changes until you do.

Then you must refresh your browser for it to get the new code from the preview.

I'm not familiar with the server extension for VSCode, but you probably still need to refresh your browser.
