The first link (WordPress HelpHub Article on Distraction-Free Writing) under Related Resources is not working, it shows "Page not found".

I've checked Docs and found this, I think it's the correct link? https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/distraction-free-mode/ @bsanevans

Hi @ardianimaya 👋 How is this going? Can the team support you in any way?

HI @bsanevans sorry for the late reply. I will finish it max Dec 15.

Well done, @ardianimaya; your script is solid and ready for the next step, namely recording. I have added two notes to the Google doc. I look forward to seeing the draft video.

Hi @westnz @bsanevans , I'm really sorry but it looks like I won't be able to record and edit the video anytime soon. Is it okay if this Tutorial is recorded by another contributor? Feel free to tweak and adapt my script as needed 🙏

[westnz]

Thank you for the update @ardianimaya
All the best

@westnz will this come up in a user pathway course? Wondering if this can be repurposed

[westnz]

We have not added this to the user pathway. The lesson has not been created - only the script.
