Issue: Lab shown as temporarily locked

Hi everyone, creating a new topic from here because this is a different issue.

The Week 1 and Week 2 labs are temporarily locked, and we’ve already escalated the problem to Coursera. Please watch this thread for updates. Thank you!

Hello, I have tried all methods and am still receiving this screen

Thank you Chris for your help resolving all of the issues!

Labs 1 and 2 are still locked for me; Lab 3 is unlocked (lab 3 is the only one I have never attempted before). I tried in both private Safari window, private Chrome window, and clearing the cache to no luck.

I still happened to have the workbench tab open from when I was trying to get through Lab 2 yesterday (I have bad habit of leaving tabs open :joy:), and was able to launch the lab from there and successfully complete + submit it. Could be a workaround if others are facing the same issue, and happen to still have the tab open!

Thanks Chris. As mentioned earlier, Lab 1 and Lab 2 are currently locked while Lab 3 is not. This is the case for any browser.

Thanks everyone! Already forwarded this concern to Coursera and they’re looking into it.

Thank you same issue here

Hello Chris

I have the same problem.

Hello Chris,

Same issue for me as well, tried from a different browser as well.

Seeing the same issue.
When I hover above the lab module from the left pane, it says “This item is locked while the course staff update the content”

Yes even I see the same for week 2 lab & week 1 it says temporarily locked.

Hi everyone. Can you try the Week 1 lab now (will try this in Week 2 if Week 1 works), and let me know if you see a different message? No news from Coursera yet but we’re trying something out. Also, please make sure that the previous video is marked as completed (should show a green check mark) before going to this lab. As usual, please try clearing the cache/using Incognito or another browser first. Thanks!

Hi Chris, thank you for looking into this issue! I have the same problem of locked access to Lab 2. I’ve tried clearing cache, using Incognito and another browser without success.

Lab 1 also has the same message (This item is locked while the course staff update the content. It will be unlocked soon.)

Hi Chris

Got this message for Lab 1 now.

For Lab 2 - the locked message is “This item is locked while the course staff update the content. It will be unlocked soon.”

Have tried clear the cache, use a different device and browser.

Hello Chris,

Same issue for me as well, tried everything mentioned here but no luck.

Same here

Same.

I see the same issue. The Lab1 and Lab2 are temporarily locked.

Thank you everyone. Im sorry for this mishap. It’s the weekend so we might not get support from our partners till Monday, US Pacific time. I’ve followed up nonetheless. Will update this thread as soon as I can. Again, apologies for this experience.
