How to open console

I'm using a MacBook Pro. I see how to open the console in the launched workspace, but the page it generates, I do not. In the video, Dave is clearly opening a console in the generated page. How do I do this? I've tried all the console shortcuts with no avail. Thank you in advance...

In the workspace, there is a option called "View" in the centered menu at the top off the page, where you see "Show Console". Hope this helps you!

Hi Angelica. Yes, this works for the launched workspace, I'm familiar with that. But what I'm trying to figure out, is how to open the console on the page/window that the code generates.

Do you mean the browser? Right click with the mouse and choose inspect. Then you should see a window appear with the code source and here you can choose between the options (element, console, sources....).

Hi Angelica. I guess I meant the browser (thank you for the correction). I'm just using my touch pad, I do not use a mouse. When I click on the browser, I do not see an option for 'inspect'. What should I do? Thank you in advance.
