Hey Team,

Came across this today,

Data Scientist Career Path > Azure Data Scientist self-paced training > Explore and configure the Azure Machine Learning workspace > Explore Azure Machine Learning workspace resources and assets > Exercise — Explore the workspace (Unit 6)

on this unit, there is a practice exercise (link: https://microsoftlearning.github.io/mslearn-azure-ml/Instructions/02-Explore-Azure-Machine-Learning.html).

In this exercise under “Create a compute target” section, Show advanced settings bullet point is mentioned, I couldn't see any such option when practising this exercise.

Hi. Sorry to detour the thread, if it's not okay I'll create a new thread:

as of today (July 2026) the exercise page cited here is missing, the url returns a 404 page. Also, the actual "Launch Exercise" button in page points to "https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/machine-learning" URL. Not an actual exercise page.

The same also is true for the exercise button found at the end module 2 of the same learning path, unit 5: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/explore-developer-tools-for-workspace-interaction/5-exercise

Is there an up-to-date location where to find those exercise pages? Thanks

Hi Sanyam Rastogi ,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A forum. We truly appreciate your enthusiasm in thoroughly reviewing the document, and I’m happy to provide the clarification you need.

We understand your concern about the missing "Show advanced settings" option in the "Create a Compute Target" section. Please rest assured that the advanced settings can be ignored. We’ve tested the exercise without them, and it can be completed successfully without any issues. You can proceed confidently, as it will not affect the outcome.

Additionally, we’ve tried the process on our end and achieved positive results, as demonstrated in the screenshots below.

Hey Ravali,
Thank you for help, apologies for the confusion I should have been a tiny bit more specific. As per your mention, yes the exercise works without a problem. I, myself completed it after posting this question. However, where should one go to look for information specified in the step?

If such information is no longer accessible from within “create compute instance” or has moved to a different location, should the text in the exercise be modified?

In my opinion, this would help in reducing any confusion for anyone else.
