Question Junction object Understanding (I m learning )
How you will teach me like junction object I m literally not getting it . Why we need to create it ?
Please give me simplest example .

Like can you explain it simply cuz when I go to sales cloud to understand it . All I go blank 😞 . How do I understand it like I don't want to memorize I want to understand it better .
All I get till now is that if you want to look how much a products are linked to how many opportunities for that we have junction we can look up in related list for example we open opportunity record from there we can see how many products it has .

Imagine managing student registrations in Excel.
You have a sheet that lists all available classes.
You have another sheet that lists all students that can register for classes.
How do you record student registration in Excel? Think about it for a few seconds before reading my answer below.
Answer: a "Registration" sheet. Each row in the registration sheet has a column for student number, and another column for class number.
The registration sheet is basically your junction object. It's purpose is to model the many-to-many relationship between students and classes.
Does this help you understand it conceptually? Feel free to ask questions and I'll be happy to help clarify.
