Hi Pablo, 

You can try below approach that consistently works for the Admin cert: 

1. Start with the official Salesforce Exam Guide, not a course or video series. It's the actual blueprint, breaks down every exam section with its weightage (e.g. Configuration & Setup, Security & Access, Standard/Custom Objects, Sales & Marketing Applications, Service & Support Applications, Activity Management, Data & Analytics Management, Workflow/Process Automation). Study time should roughly mirror those weightings, not be spread evenly. 

   Official Trailhead cert prep trail (mirrors the exam guide section by section):

2. Hands-on Trailhead Playground practice beats passive reading for this exam specifically, since most questions are scenario-based ("what would you configure to achieve X"), not definition-recall. For every module you complete, immediately redo the same task from memory in a fresh Playground without the guide open. 

3. Use Trailhead's own interactive scenario/flashcard trail alongside the modules, it's built specifically for this exam and reinforces recall through spaced repetition rather than just re-reading: 

(same trail includes these interactive study tools) 

4. Join the Trailblazer Community and look for/join a Study Group, Salesforce runs official Admin Study Group sessions periodically that walk through each exam section live, this is Salesforce-endorsed prep, not third-party. 

5. Pomodoro (25-30 min focused blocks) works well specifically because Setup pages and declarative tools have a lot of small, easy-to-conflate settings (e.g. sharing rules vs manual sharing vs role hierarchy), short focused sessions per topic reduce mixing concepts up. 

6. Time commitment: Salesforce recommends 6-12 months of hands-on admin experience before attempting this exam, if you're studying alongside real job exposure, 5-8 focused hours/week is a realistic sustainable pace without burning out; if studying without daily hands-on org access, lean toward more Playground time relative to reading time to compensate. 

7. Don't skip the Certification Program Agreement and exam policies page before exam day, format/logistics questions catch people off guard on exam day itself, not just content:

Good luck, this is a very achievable cert with consistent Playground practice.

Hi Nancy, 

(or vice versa) for an existing field. 

Go to Setup → Object Manager → Your Object → Fields & Relationships → Your Field 

Click Edit 

You'll see the picklist is tied to a Global Value Set — there is

here to detach it and switch to manual values. This choice is locked in at field creation and isn't editable afterward. 

@Nancy MagalhaesOne limitation I’d consider is the underlying data model: the native Relationship Map is primarily account/contact relationship-focused, so a true side-by-side “customer org + our internal org” hierarchy is difficult to maintain dynamically.

If this is a recurring sales use case, I’d model the internal stakeholders and customer contacts as related records with an explicit relationship type (Decision Maker, Executive Sponsor, Account Owner, etc.), then surface those relationships through a custom LWC. That would keep the visualization data-driven instead of relying on manually added cards, while still keeping everything inside Salesforce.

I believe Agentforce will evolve toward handling complete business processes rather than isolated tasks. For example, an admin could describe a requirement in natural language, and Agentforce could propose objects, fields, flows, permissions, and reports as a single solution. To maintain control, admins would still review, approve, and audit all changes, with security boundaries based on user permissions. 

The balance between AI-driven automation and administrator oversight will likely be key to enabling more complex multi-step tasks while maintaining trust, compliance, and security.
