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!
