Permanently Saving Changes

How would you make it so that the user's changes to the To Do list are saved permanently, meaning that if the user refreshes the page it won't reset all the values to their default "Pay Bills", "Go Shopping", etc. but will keep all of the changes the user made? I have a feeling that this would involve more complicated coding, and if so, is there a course on here that I can be referred to that would discuss a topic like that?

That is much more in-depth than the course you are on. I would suggest to keep pushing through the basic JavaScript courses! You will eventually get to it!
