Information about the requested update

I'm running through the GitHub Foundations collection on learn.microsoft.com. After completing a module, the next module that was suggested to me was Introduction to GitHub Copilot. Midway through the module I saw that the directions suggested I complete the Code with GitHub Codespaces module before moving forward. I went ahead and completed that module and then got back to the initial module I started however it got a little bit confusing trying to get back to my initial module with having so many tabs open from learn.microsoft.com, github, codespaces, etc.

There doesn't seem to be a straightforward way to get back to the GitHub Foundations collection and resume your progress in the module once you are done with the github/codespaces exercise. Since most of the modules end with the user either on github or codespaces (rather than on learn.microsoft) i suggest putting a button on the Step X commit in the README of every exercise repo, so that you can easily come back to where you left off within the module on learn.microsoft.com.

Alternatively, perhaps the "next" module suggested to start when on the last page of completing one's current module should always suggest the next most logical module to complete instead of suggesting 2 random modules from the collection.

Thanks!

As a fellow "student" I agree the suggested content after completing a module can add confusion. In most cases I ended up following the learning plan instead. 🤷‍♂️

It's been several weeks now so it's fuzzy, but there was one spot where I diverted from the learning plan to chase after a "suggested" module that was too interesting to wait for. 😆
