The variables you create in JavaScript exist on the client side (in the user's browser). So if you open your DevTools, you're only seeing the variables and log entries from your own browser. Even if other people are working with the same page, your browser will only show what you have done.

To keep information entered by other users, your page will need to submit data back to the server, and the server program will need to store it for you.
