Development Tools

Why are my options different in developer tools? I see "Performance", "Memory" and "Application" as choices.

In Chrome developer tools I have different options from what is presented in the video. I see Performance, Memory, and Application. Do I need to upgrade or configure my settings?

Hi Michelle. You're probably seeing seeing different options in your developer tools due to Chrome upgrading from the time the video was created. However, this shouldn't be an issue as the basics of the old version and new version are quite similar. What's important is that you understand the overall concept of the tools and then be able to adapt to current version as well as future versions. I hope you find this helpful :)

It may likely be, not that you need to upgrade but rather you are using more up-to-date version. Chrome updates fairly regularly so difference between the layout vs when the video was made is possible. All the functionality will still be there it may just be a case of rooting out
