We are getting reports that the labs are working again. Go ahead and keep trying and it should resolve soon. For this challenge, you do need to complete within the virtual environment. There are still 7 days left in the challenge and we are actively monitoring this lab issue to make sure it's working for users.

Yes, you'll need to redo the labs in order for the activity to count toward your completion for the challenge.

Good day allisonkraker thank you for your feedback. I have redone the labs however, each time I close out by selecting the Done button I loose whatever I do. Note: (There is a tick for the lab though is this sufficient?).The instruction in lab 2 states that to end the lab do the below but I do not see the End Lab option.

"Ending Your Lab

To end this lab, click the menu icon in the upper right hand corner of this instruction window and select End Lab."

Is anyone else experiencing this problem and if not can someone please assist by providing some guidance on how to secure the lab that I have already done? I have redo already and I keep loosing.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm having the same problem. I don't know if my advance still counts even though I don't see my saved file in the D:\DA100\MySolution folder when I launch the following Lab.
Please allisonkraker, could you help us with this?

    Hi everyone!
    
    This is expected behavior. The virtual labs always reset when you close them. Make sure you don't close the lab window until you are completely done with the exercise or you will lose your data.
    
    Each module should have a starting solution which lets you pick up where you left off, or you can keep the lab environment open and go straight into the next lab if it's a continuation. In either case, you should receive a badge for the module once you've completed it. If you aren't getting the badge at the end, let us know here and we'll see what's going on!
    
    I hope that helps!
