script.js file doesn't appear in Chrome Dev Tools Sources tab [Fixed]

Hi, I'm using Google Chrome for this tutorial and opened up Developer Tools (Dev Tools) to review my javascript errors.

I discovered you can edit your javascript code in Dev Tools by looking at the file using the "Sources" tab along the top of the Dev Tools window. The Source tab will highlight your errors in red (like in Microsoft Word) and allows you to make changes to the code directly (but you'll still need to update your file in Workspace).

So, I went to the "Sources" tab, which typically displays all the Workspace files in a file tree, but discovered my "scripts.js" file wasn't in the file tree. To fix this, I left the Dev Tools window open and refreshed the tutorial page. After refreshing, the script.js file appeared in the file tree and I was able to open it and look at the javascript errors.

Just wanted to share in case someone else ran into the same problem :)
