I have been unable to find a video or articles that explains this further detail. When setting up the back button focus on the Canon camera, do I continue to hold the focus button down on the back of the camera as I’m taking pictures or do I release the focus button before taking pictures when using the back button focus?

It depends. On the R5 you hold it, on the R7 you can let go.
