If you find yourself typing the same JavaScript expression in the Console repeatedly, you might find
it easier to create a **Live Expression** . With **Live Expressions**, you type an expression once and
then pin it to the top of your Console. The value of the expression updates in near real time.
## Create a live expression
To pin an expression to the top of the **Console**:
1. [Open the Console](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/console/reference.md.txt#open).
2. Click  **Create Live Expression** . The **Live Expression** text box appears.
3. Type your expression in the text box. For example, you can use a live expression to [track element focus](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/accessibility/focus.md.txt).
> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Key point:** To type a multi-line expression, start the new line by pressing \Shift\+\Enter\.
4. Press Enter to save the expression, or click outside of the **Live Expression** text box.
The value below the pinned expression is its result. The result updates every 250 milliseconds.
## Add multiple expressions
To pin multiple expressions in parallel, click the  **Create Live Expression** button as many times as you need.
You can only see several pinned expressions at a time but you can scroll the expressions list to view all of them.
## Remove expressions
To remove an expression, click the **Close** button next to it.
