> All your space-lua scripts are loaded on boot, to reload them without reloading the page, simply run the ${widgets.commandButton("System: Reload")} (Ctrl-Alt-r) command.

## Authoring loop
|
||||
When iterating on a `space-lua` block, follow this loop:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Edit** the script in the editor.
|
||||
2. **Reload**: run `System: Reload` (Ctrl-Alt-r) to re-execute all `space-lua` definitions without a full page reload (you can reload the browser also if you prefer). Run `Space: Reindex` (via the command palette) if you also need the [[Object Index]] rebuilt with fresh data (e.g. if you use [[API/tag#tag.define(spec)]]).
|
||||
3. **Check the brower’s logs**: a reload completing without a visible error **does not mean your script is healthy**. Lua syntax errors, load-time failures, and runtime exceptions during indexing or widget rendering all surface in the browser console logs, not always as a user-visible reload failure.
|
||||
4. **Verify** the behaviour in the editor.

> **note** Note

> Lua examples in the docs use `lua` fenced blocks (not `space-lua`) so they are not activated on the docs site itself; when using snippets in your own space, change `lua` to `space-lua`. See the note at the top of this page.
