Sketch did not regenerate properly, but extrusion still worked

This is my first time designing anything in Onshape.
I am trying to make several round depressions in my part, and i did so by sketching quarter circles and using the revolve function to remove round parts. I made some other changes and now some of my sketches are red, but the depressions I want still look fine, so does this matter? Do I have to go back and resolve them in order for this part to print?

If you mouse over the sketch it will show what the error is, in this case missing external references. It wouldn't affect printing but without the reference the sketch could move around in unpredictable ways… Also your sketches are "underdefined" meaning things aren't fully located in space. As a general rules you want all your sketches to turn black before you move on to the next feature.
Side note: don't draw the dimples separately, use the circular pattern!
I would recommend going though the courses in the Learning center, it will save you a lot of time!
Here's how to this with much less work:

Thank you! I knew there had to be a more efficient way!
