+    ```javascript

+            if (document.visibilityState === 'visible') startMemoryPolling();
+            else stopMemoryPolling();
+        });
+        
+        window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
+            if (document.visibilityState === 'visible') startMemoryPolling();
+        });
+    ```
 
     **devtools.js:**
 
 1. Update the `devtools.js` file with the following code.
 
-    ```javascript
-    let availableMemoryCapacity;
-    let totalMemoryCapacity;
-
-    chrome.devtools.panels.create("Sample Panel", "icon.png", "panel.html", panel => {
-        // code invoked on panel creation
-        panel.onShown.addListener((extPanelWindow) => {
-            availableMemoryCapacity = extPanelWindow.document.querySelector('#availableMemoryCapacity');
-            totalMemoryCapacity = extPanelWindow.document.querySelector('#totalMemoryCapacity');
-        });
+    ```javascript 
+    chrome.devtools.panels.create("Sample Panel", "icon.png", "panel.html", (panel) => {
+        console.log('devtools: panel created');
+        panel.onShown.addListener(() => console.log('devtools: panel shown'));
+        panel.onHidden.addListener(() => console.log('devtools: panel hidden'));
     });
-
-    setInterval(() => {
-        chrome.system.memory.getInfo((data) => {
-            if (availableMemoryCapacity) {
-                availableMemoryCapacity.innerHTML = data.availableCapacity;
-            }
-            if (totalMemoryCapacity) {
-                totalMemoryCapacity.innerHTML = data.capacity;
-            }
-        });
-    }, 1000);
     ```
 
 The above code snippet does the following:
 
 1. Creates a new panel `Sample Panel` in DevTools.
-
-1. When the panel is displayed (`panel.onShown` listener), the `availableMemoryCapacity` and `totalMemoryCapacity` elements are retrieved from the DOM.
-
-1. Sets a timer to run code every second after the panel is shown.
+   
+1. When the panel is displayed, `panel.js` sets a timer to run code every second after the panel is shown.
 
 1. When the timer fires, the `chrome.system.memory.getInfo` method is used to retrieve the available and total memory capacity of the device and these values are displayed in the corresponding DOM elements.
