You create the content of this file in the challenge.

This challenge has two files, index.html and shout.js, both opened in the challenge editor and selected by the tabs at the top of the edit area. The shout.js file is initially empty, but you will add code to it.

You won't need to add a tab (I don't think that's possible anyway). Both tabs will already be present when you start the challenge. You just click on the tabs to switch which of the files you are looking at and editing. This is in the challenge, not the workspace.

The tabs will have a little "paper with folded corner" symbol followed by the file name.
