To add to this:

we're super excited that the commons app is building this campaign mode.
Some of you may remember that there used to be a WLM dedicated app, and one
lesson we learned from this experience is that it makes more sense to
integrate it. This is for multiple reasons:
- More critical mass to make development worth while
- More reinforcement between the campaign and the regular uploads
- People who are new to WLM, learn how to upload also outside the campaign:
they can reuse the workflows. This helps them to remain active after.

Thanks Josephine & team for working on this!
