So, we were thrilled to <a href=\"http:\/\/webmakerblog.wpengine.com\/celebrating-an-hour-of-code-around-the-world\">partner with Hour of Code<\/a> for the third year in a row.

We\u2019re excited to share a new Inspector tool that allows you to hover your mouse over elements in the preview, and see the associated code that was used to make them in the editor.<br \/>\nThe Inspector is useful for trying to understand how a page works, or where exactly to make changes. When the Inspector is enabled, move your mouse within the preview to highlight elements and code, or click on a specific part of the page to turn off the Inspector and focus just on that code.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/wiki\/mozilla\/thimble.webmaker.org\/inspector.gif\" alt=\"gif showing Inspector in action\" width=\"1166\" height=\"904\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tell us how you use Thimble <\/b><\/h3>\n<p>We love hearing from Thimble users about how the tool is working for them.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\"><p>after playing a while with <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FpKGswvo3o\">https:\/\/t.co\/FpKGswvo3o<\/a> I&#8217;m pretty sure that I love it.
