Use **Snippets** in DevTools to run code you frequently use and live expression to watch JavaScript values in real time.
[Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zW9ibQbYJNE)
Watch the video to learn how to:
- Create a snippet or open the **Snippets** pane:
- With the [Command Menu](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/command-menu.md.txt)
- In [**Sources** \> **Snippets**](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/javascript/snippets.md.txt#open).
- Run your new snippet:
- With the Command / Control + Enter shortcut in **Sources**
- From the [Command Menu](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/command-menu.md.txt#help) using `!`.
- Pass values to your snippet:
1. Pause it with a [breakpoint](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/javascript/breakpoints.md.txt#loc).
2. Set values in the [**Sources** \> **Scope**](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/javascript/reference.md.txt#scope) pane.
3. Resume execution.
- Execute snippets from the **Console**: load them as global functions and run once.
- Use [Console Utilities API](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/console/utilities.md.txt) in your snippets.
- Use [**Console** \> **Live Expressions**](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/console/live-expressions.md.txt):
- To execute a piece of code you want to run repeatedly, for example, during a debugging session.
- Watch how the values change during execution in real time.
