Your codespace will automatically be saved when you close the browser window or are inactive for something like 10 minutes. You can find your saved codespaces here: [Sign in to GitHub · GitHub](https://github.com/codespaces)

Keep in mind that this is a free service operated by github (not by us) and they do delete codespaces after a while; I think it’s a few weeks. This is documented in the Help page here: [GitHub Codespaces - training.nextflow.io](https://training.nextflow.io/latest/envsetup/01_setup/#other-notes-about-using-github-codespaces)
