The two-stage approach

[stanleyccc]

Hi,
My model of my research assembled with one formative exogenous variable and 2 moderators which point to a endogenous latent variables., It seems that I need to process two-stage approach to calculate under this circumstance.
I learned how to process two-stage approach in SmartPLS 2, I like to know does it still work on SmartPLS 3? with similar procedures?
Thank you~

Yes it does.

Hi, can you guide me how to do 2 step approach in SmartPlS3? I don't understand the steps well from these suggested articles.
