    Hi FOF,
    I am preparing for PD1 certification. Since SF is retiring Workflows and Process builder, my understanding is that SF certification exam no longer include questions related WF and PB, however, there are still some questions related to PB and WF in FOF practices. Is expected to still have questions in the PD1 exam about the retired functionalities? Please advise

    1. Ian Focus Team

      Hi Muna, thanks for the inquiry. The Platform Developer I exam guide still mentions processes and automation features. And although the creation of new workflow rules will no longer be allowed in Winter ’23, for example, you will be allowed to update existing workflow rules. So, there will still be some level of customization support at least for the next release, and knowledge of the feature would still be useful. More importantly, as long as they’re still mentioned, or are still relevant in the exam guide, we will continue maintaining related questions in the practice exams.

    I am planning to register for Sharing and Visibility Architect in few weeks. However, when I login to Kryterion Web Assessor, and try to register for this exam, it does not say the release cycle of the exam. Previously, the release cycle (e.g. SU21, WI22 etc.) would be on the title of the exam when I registered for them, which is not there anymore. I have searched all over the internet, including Salesforce’s websites (trailhead, help, blogs etc.), I can’t seem to find this an answer to this simple question: Which release cycle is a given Salesforce certification exam is right now? Please help me get an answer to this question.

    @Starkey, thank you for your response. How about the study sessions/groups are they tailored to begginners or people with prior knowledge of say writing code etc for PD1?
    I just need to know what to expect.
    Are you planing to have any Boot camps or Live training sessions at any stage?
