You’re very welcome, BKosisky, thanks for your reply.
Yes, I understand what you are experiencing. Sorry if I didn’t have had addressed this point more carefully.
Things constantly change, and some parts are mandatory for the change, others might be optional. The idea is always that things improve. This is a mix of subjective and “objective” points of view. On the other hand, “no one is an island”, and apps depend on their host OS and hardware. A running target in the same way.
I certainly place my input for anything new, mostly from an educational point of view, especially when changes to the GUI are in the mix. It often kills otherwise the connection to the training material.
I know it will not help you at all to read through that right now, but I wanted you to know that nothing that you experience right now, is based on careless behavior.
The other side of the coin is that it is easy to rely on muscle memory when doing training, a reason why I learn (on average) a new application per month, to keep this “starter” feeling fresh. Besides, for any question, I work practically on it, as mentioned. Answering from memory, while knowing all is changing, seems un-informed.
So, after all that, my tip, based on many thousands of tutorials that I have watched: At the moment, frustrations come up, and you have trust in the author, go back to the point where you felt well. The mechanics of watching a tutorial is often accompanied by the idea, I see it, I understand it, and it should move on faster, based on that. At this moment, there might be a single mouse click (that is missed) or a term (that is not fully understood) or just a sequence of actions (that is out of order in one’s memory). Whatever it is, that creates a black hole in one’s knowledge. This will suck all the energy in it. After a few minutes, frustration starts. During that frustration, the idea is formed how it should be presented instead. This is a request that something outside of you needs to be changed. (Which might be a correct assessment). However, that change might not happen quickly, so you hit a dead-end for now.
So, going back a few minutes should often do the trick. If not, we are here to help. I hope I made clear that I know this feeling all too well. I understand the resulting frustration. All I can do is to try to patch (here in the forum) what time and change have contributed to produce this feeling.
Again, sorry about the trouble you encounter.
My best wishes, stay safe, stay healthy.
