How to create a drop down menu in XD?

I have been trying to follow this tutorial: https://www.adobe.com/products/xd/learn/design/layout/create-dropdown-menu.html

It is virtually impossible to follow and so many things don't seem to work.

  1. Trying to copy the dropdown content into the same layer as the header. I eventually got this to work but I have got no idea how.
  2. States and actions: I found it fairly easy to get the action to open the menu. However when I wanted to get the close action working I was unable to select just the header as per the tutorial.
  3. Screenasts. The screencasts were too fast and I couldn't pause them. I ended up recording the screen so I could pause it. This seems crazy. Is there an easier way.

Is this typical of Adobe tutorials? I must admit I haven't used many of the official tutorials. Rather I have learnt on the way of searched Google for the topic I was interested in.
