Seems like "save" didn't work

I saved my index.html, the orange dot disappeared, but an old version of the webpage kept appearing in preview. Why is that?

I took my html text, put it in a separate text editor and viewed that HTML file in my browser and it worked fine. What's wrong with preview - why would this happen?

Here is my HTML text:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>My Name | Test Page</title> </head> <body> <header> <h1>My Name</h1> <h2>Test Page</h2> </header> <section> <p>Gallery will go here.</p> </section> <footer> <p>Ā© 2014 My Name</p> </footer> </body>

</html>

Have you tried refreshing your page?

Saving index.html sometimes isn't enough to allow preview to work (i.e., recent changes aren't appearing on the rendered page). Likely a bug. To work around it, I simply closed index.html and reopened it, then selected preview.
