Hi, my name is kristin dubenko and I'm the PM for the knowledge group in the create stage. Our group works on two main category level features the wiki and design management in 12:9, we're continuing to work on two direction: level: issues that slipped since twelve five, both of these required a ton of architecture, work behind the scenes and in twelve nine we should be shipping out lists.

A

This one is generating smaller versions of design images on upload and we're actually going to be modifying support, design management links and markdown to be a subset of what was originally planned so that we can get it out there we've actually, since this has been worked on, we've changed the way we think about designs, so we actually have two reaaargh attack the way we do design links in the browser so that they have their own unique, URL and they're, not scoped, underneath an issue.

A

So it's just it's gotten more complicated as we've developed the direction, and so we're going to discuss this and release met, design, links to specific design tabs and then the individual design links will come in a later later release. We're adding two new Direction items for twelve nine. Both of these came from the dogfooding exercise that we did with our internal gate lab UX team. We actually have an epoch under our viable maturity, called design management, dogfooding priorities and you'll see that a lot of them are here in twelve nine.

Two of them are Direction issues. This is our hit list for getting it usable quickly, iterating, so that everybody can use it and we're not stepping on toes so to explain what the two issues are. Drag-And-Drop upload of designs, fairly self-explanatory.

A

You can see here in the design, for it you'd be able to sell a design on your desktop, drag it into the design area of gitlab, and if you can drop it here on this tile to upload the new design, you could also decide to drop it over an existing design and that would essentially version it. The second Direction item is updating the zooming functionality so that it works with very long designs like our get lab homepage. So you can see here, I'm not actually able to get this.

A

It's a bug so I can't get it to the full width so to see detail. So we're going to address that and have it go full width as well as being able to scroll.

A

We don't have again, we don't have a wiki, Direction issue for this release. However, we are progressing on the implementation epoch for group level. Wikis. You can see here. The team has put weights on all of the issues and we are. We already have one starting in twelve nine. We do feel that when they investigate this, more issues will be added, but fairly soon, I would think a release or two we should know how big the entirety of this is.

A

So that's it for the knowledge team. Thank you for your time. Bye, bye,.
