Right now, you're trying to set the text content of #name-input to the value of .profile-name, but it's supposed to be reversed: set the text content of .profile-name to the value of #name-input, which you already stored in the variable newName in Task 1. You can remove the two lines of code involving prof and just add one new line of code where you set the text() of .profile-name equal to newName. Let me know if you're still having trouble!
