This week we focused on giving our team better administrative tools to create, manage, and editorialize content at scale.
This week we took our foot off the gas pedal with regards to the customer-facing user experience and, instead, focused on our team's administrative experience. Over the past few weeks, we've added several significant upgrades to the platform. And, as part of that, we added many new repositories to the system. However, we quickly realized our administrative tools weren't sufficient to manage large amounts of data. So, we took the week to focus on upgrading that experience I think we're quite pleased with the outcome.

Previously, when our team wanted to add a repository to the platform, we had to plugin a URL for each repository one by one and then go through and deploy them one at a time. Today, we can provide a list of URLs, click a checkbox and watch the system do it's magic for dozens of repositories at a time. And, we've extended this type of functionality across the system. So we can batch upload, edit, deactivate, and remove any piece of content on our platform.
Moving forward, this means our team can keep track and manage hundreds (if not thousands) of repositories on a regular basis which is helpful for editorial and other purposes.
