 This means that if you e.g., start Compass application locally it will recompile all native modules to work in Electron runtime, if you would try to run tests for `@mongodb-js/connection-storage` library right after that, tests would fail due to `keytar` library not being compatible with Node.js environment that the tests are running in.
 
 If you run into this issue, make sure that native modules are rebuilt for whatever runtime you are planning to use at the moment. To help with that we provide two npm scripts: `npm run electron-rebuild` will recompile native modules to work with Electron and `npm run node-rebuild` will recompile them to work with Node.js.

+
+To inspect the React component hierarchies in the Chrome DevTools panel, use the [React Developer Tools](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/react-developer-tools/fmkadmapgofadopljbjfkapdkoienihi), which is already installed when running a local development build. For a reason, yet to be determined, you must reload (<kbd>⌘</kbd> + <kbd>R</kbd>) the DevTools window to see the "⚛️ Components" and "⚛️ Profiler" tabs.
