Just dropping this here for anyone that had the same issue as me in VS Code  
If cfn-lint does not recognize custom variables such as !ImportValue, this should fix your issue

> I have installed this extension on Visual Studio Code. Although it is installed properly, the plugin does not recognize more advanced...

Just got here, and, in the process of following the tutorial pretty closely, I don’t have a `services/notes/resources/` directory, let alone a `services/notes/resources/cognito-policy.yml` file.

I do have a `/resources` directory at the same level as the `/infrastructure` and `/services` directories, but all that’s in there is the `api-gateway-errors.yml` (created in the [Handle API Gateway CORS Errors](https://serverless-stack.com/chapters/handle-api-gateway-cors-errors.html) chapter). I’m guessing that, at the `mv tests libs mocks node_modules services/notes` step in the [Getting Production Ready](https://serverless-stack.com/chapters/getting-production-ready.html) chapter, I should have also moved the `resources` directory (i.e. change the `mv` command to `mv tests libs mocks node_modules resources services/notes`)?

Also, if this is indeed the first time we’re `touch`ing the `cognito-policy.yml` file, it might be more clear to indicate that we’re creating the file in this chapter rather than just updating it? That said, I may have missed its creation somewhere along the way too…

Thanks!

I think you might’ve been following an older version of the guide from before? Are you using the PDF or the web version?

Hi, is it possible to reference a user pool created by sst in serverless.yml? More details here [reference cognito user pool created by sst (serverless-stack) in serverless.yml - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68275083/reference-cognito-user-pool-created-by-sst-serverless-stack-in-serverless-yml)
