Hey all,
Does anyone know why we can’t save our lab exercises on the new Certified Full Stack Developer curriculum? I can see that we’re able to download our work once we’re done but, I didn’t think to download my 1st lab. I thought it would be saved automatically like the Certification Projects in the Archived courses.
Hey,
As far as I know, that’s how it works with the lab projects. Once you finish them, they are gone. That’s why there is a download button to save your code locally if you don’t want to lose it. You might wanna do the 1st lab again 
Happy coding!
Damn - my lab was beautiful. I’m gonna miss it. Lol okay thank you.
Same thing happened to me on lab 1. I can’t see the download button. Is there another way to save my code as I write. I just noticed that all my code in my not yet complete travel agency lab has disappeared too.
Hi,
the download button appears on the popup after you pass all the steps in the lab and click submit. While writing your code, you can Ctrl + s to save the code on your local storage.
Another way to deal with it is to do the project on Codepen or VS Code so you can save a copy of it. Then, once finished, you can add your code to the fcc editor and see if it passes all the steps.
I hope this helps!

I’ve been using 15-30 min lunch/work breaks to work through these. Looks like I’m unable to save my labs in my work computer. a lab must be completed in one session or it will disappear before I 'm able to work again later at home on a different computer?
the lab code is saved in the browser if you save it with Ctrl+S, otherwise it is not saved.
tbh, it costs too much in database space to keep the code for everyone saved.
Maybe you can consider starting using github, so you can save your code there and keep working on it from wherever
