I don't have any refresh button on "preview" feature in Workspaces.

Pretty much like the title of my question reads. The "preview" feature in Workspaces isn't showing any refresh button, which makes it hard (impossible?) for me to see what a change to my code does. Tech support seems to think that this is a failure on my part to meet a challenge, rather than a bug in the software. Does anyone know how to deal with this issue?

Thanks.

If you're referring to the challenges (workspaces are separate from code challenges), in my experience it takes a few seconds for the preview to update after switching from the code view, but it should refresh on its own.

if you are referring to the workspaces, your preview should be in another browser window, which you would refresh like any other web page.

If that's not working, have you tired the usual steps of restarting your browser and computer?

If that still doesn't work, can you tell us a little more about what's not updating for you?

I cannot refresh the preview because there is no refresh button. This is unlike any other web page--anything else I open, including in Treehouse, shows a refresh button, a back button, a forward button, all the normal stuff, and they all work normally, too. In Workspaces and Review, none of these buttons are showing up.

If it helps, I'm using Microsoft Edge on Windows 10.
