For a page like: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/deploy-microsoft-365-apps-enterprise/6-deploy-apps-enterprise-from-local-source it suggests it should take 2 minutes to read, however I think that is unrealistic.

    Hi Mark Whittle,

    Thank you for your feedback on the estimated reading time. 

    The reading time is calculated based on an average reading speed and is meant to be a general guideline. We know that different users have different levels of familiarity with the content. Some might skim through to refresh their memory, while others may take more time to grasp the details.

    We appreciate your understanding and hope this clears up the purpose of the estimated reading time.

    If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out.
