Description

Zowe will be releasing a new major version of the Zowe Explorer VS Code Extension as described in this blog. The course should be updated to match this version as it becomes available.

Problems

No response

Additional Context

Sometimes in the community forums, folks advise learners to try the original v1 profiles. This will become troublesome as v3 no longer supports v1 profiles and only supports team config. In these forums, we should provide clear, concise instructions to our learners on how to upgrade easily. Otherwise, we risk potential frustration as folks adopt Zowe Explorer v3 and their v1 profiles are no longer in play.

Research direction

Search the course content, screenshots, and community-forum guidance for references to Zowe Explorer and v1 profiles, then read the linked Zowe v3 announcement. Done means the materials match Zowe Explorer v3, explain team config and upgrading from v1 profiles, and no longer direct learners to unsupported v1 profiles.
