I had just finished Design a Contact form (Lab ) and before I could submit my code it was all lost when I accidentally hit the side button on my mouse. I could not retrieve any of my code. There doesn’t seem to be a save button to save your progress along the way until you’re ready to submit. It takes more time and is a distraction if one has to stop continuously in the middle of code to copy and past into another text document so that progress can be saved and not lost before being ready to submit. Am I missing something in this module? Is there a save button I am not registering? If not, is this something you would consider adding, please?
Much appreciated.
the code is saved to the local storage when you run the tests, or when you press Ctrl+S
note that it’s deleted from local storage once you submit the challenge
Ok, thank you for explaining. It took me a minute. I tried testing that out a couple of times and now understand that the “check your code” saves it locally. I wish I had known that early on. I like to write my code and not check it until I think it’s done. From my understanding, it seems like I will have to continually check my code as I am writing to make sure it is saved locally, in case I lose the page. So the check your code button serves as a save your place. I just wish that was more explicit. I appreciate your help. Thanks!
You can also use Ctrl+S as I mentioned earlier
you don’t need to run the tests if you don’t want to
When you use the keyboard combination Ctrl+S you will see this message confirmation:
Ok great, that’s better, thanks!
