I read these comments for months, reading inspiration from people passing, giving me hope. I passed back in October and I was so excited I almost forgot to comment on this thread! I had to keep studying the slides & score above 90 on the practice exams, the video series of Salesforce “Who see’s what” also helped me out a lot. If you’re reading these words, I believe in you, and I’m proud of you for not giving up.

HELP!! What did you do with all the video’s?!
I made a whole plan based on the videos. I went through the video’s for Config I, II & II and wanted to start with the Lightning App Builder video and had in total 18 videos planned as study material, but now they are all gone!! Why did you remove all those videos from the study guide? Can you please place them back! Kind regards
