else if(button.textContent === 'save'){ // making code for saving changes. return to what it was before edit const input = li.firstElementChild; //reference node const save = document.createElement('span'); //created new node save.textContent = input.value; //setting the save spans text content to = the input the user types li.insertBefore(save, input); li.removeChild(input); //to replace old span with new span button.textContent = 'edit'; }

The only difference is instead of creating a constant named save, I named mine span, just like it was in the block for "edit." In my opinion it keeps things consistent and easier to understand, especially since in this context "save" is also the text content of the button.
} else if (button.textContent === 'save') {
const input = li.firstElementChild;
const span = document.createElement('span');
span.textContent = input.value;
li.insertBefore(span, input);
li.removeChild(input);
button.textContent = 'edit';
}
