It would be nice to see the edited changes in the console.

Add a console.log(currentContent);.

To test out your changes, trying editing the note and then clicking out of the note. You should now see the edited note in the console.

--hints--

You should add a console.log(currentContent); inside of the event listener, after assigning newContent to currentContent.

js
assert.match(code, /noteEl\.addEventListener\(['"]blur['"],\s*\(\)\s*=>\s*{[^}]*const\s+newContent\s*=\s*noteEl\.innerHTML[^}]*currentContent\s*=\s*newContent[^}]*console\.log\(currentContent\)[^}]*}\)/);

      Many languages have words that carry meanings so specific or culturally rooted that they can't be neatly translated into English. 
        
      One example is the Japanese word "tsundoku", which refers to the habit of acquiring books and letting them pile up unread, something many book lovers can relate to. Another is the Portuguese word "saudade", describing a deep, bittersweet longing for something or someone that is absent. Meanwhile, the French word "Dépaysement" captures the disorienting yet exciting feeling of being in a new place, far from home.
        
      These unique words remind us that language is more than vocabulary: it's a window into the values, habits, and emotions of the cultures that create it.
