States to force with :hov
Inspect the link, click :hov in the Styles pane and tick :hover, then :focus-visible. The page shows those styles while you move the mouse away and edit them.
DevTools shows every rule that matches an element, which declarations won and which were crossed out, the final computed values and the box model, and lets you edit and toggle styles live to find out why something looks the way it does.
Change the code and press Run (Ctrl+Enter). Predict what will happen first, then break it on purpose and read what changes. Your edits are saved and match the lesson page.

Practice questions
Write the code in the editor, run it, then open the model answer to compare.
In the first example, without touching the HTML, make the button orange again by editing only the CSS. Give two different ways.
In the second example, change the CSS so the box's visible width is exactly 300px, keeping padding: 16px and the 4px border. What width do you need?
