I can't view my resume page by typing /resume.html. It gives me an 404 error message.

Hi William Gomez! Would you please include a fork of your workspace? Thanks. :)

I click on Fork Workspace, but it just takes me back to the Workspace screen. I'm not really sure what I'm doing though when I click "Fork Workspace."

Check out this video. It covers the use of forks and snapshots.

If this is in a workspace, you should use the built in controls for navigating. Also remember, a workspace can time out for no "activity." Which means if you have not saved, loaded, opened or viewed a document recently.

At a quick glance, you probably don't have "resume.html" in your web root, if "/resume.html" is saying NOT FOUND. Check where you have saved the file, as you may need to include a folder name in the path.

If you are trying to load your file locally, you will need a "file://PATH TO FILE/resume.html", meaning PATH TO FILE needs to be replaced with the full path, in Windows, it could include a drive letter, on Mac and Linux, it could be something like "file://Users/USERNAME/resume.html" or "file://home/USERNAME/resume.html"

Your workspace file was most likely called "Resume.html" (with a capital letter), which did not match the lower case version typed in the address bar of your browser: ".../resume.html".

It's not mentioned in the video (which is why there are so many people with 404 errors, scratching their heads) but the URL for this is actually case sensitive! It doesn't matter if you use capital or lower case, it just needs to be the same in both places.
