Could I make a request on substantive changes to lessons.
This change has been 'interesting' when we are in the middle of a SWC workshop. Having downloaded and tested the previous version, got to the workshop to discover that half the material was missing. This led to some scrambling. So please - if a lesson is being substantially rewritten (rather than just cosmetic/minor changes) then place it under a different name for a period of time (at least a fortnight, preferably a month) until it can be accepted as the new definitive version with time for scheduled workshops to adapt/adopt it. It is most unfair/unprofessional to expect instructors to be responding on the hoof to changes underfoot.

We probably didn't catch *all* the bugs in PR review, so please let us know when you encounter problems - either file an issue or issue a PR and I'll try to prioritize and merge those. I'll also have Maneesha email upcoming instructors just to make sure everyone hears about the change.
