What browser are you using?

Are you asking how to find the local storage to view it? Or to access it through JavaScript?

You'll open your developer tools, or press F12, and navigate to the "Resources" tab, and you'll see "Local Storage" on the left sidebar. You will have full access to any local storage right there.

I'm not sure if Tree House has any resources on this, but definitely refer to the MDN guide on local storage

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/API/DOM/Storage

Here's a basic example of saving to local storage.

var testObject = { 'one': 1, 'two': 2, 'three': 3 };

// Put the object into storage
localStorage.setItem('testObject', JSON.stringify(testObject));

// Retrieve the object from storage
var retrievedObject = localStorage.getItem('testObject');
