Hi everyone, my name, is eric schroeder and I'm the product manager for the editor group and I'm excited to share with you a little bit about what we have planned for the 15.1 milestone as usual I'll link to our planning issue in the video description. So you can take a look at all the great work we have scheduled for this month, but I want to highlight just a couple things for you today.

First off, I mentioned this before and we'll be working on this over the next few milestones, but a massive effort right now to improve the web id experience by integrating a client-side browser-based instance of vs code to replace the current web ide. So we'll continue this effort in this milestone.

We're wrapping up work on getting a read-only instance of vs code behind a feature flag, so you'll be able to um if you're in in that feature flag, you'll, be able to see your repository and interact with the file system, but not actually make any edits yet then we'll be moving on to building out the commit flow and custom modules necessary to interact with the underlying project. So more on that over the coming milestones and we're really excited about the direction. That's headed switching gears to talk a little bit about the content.

Editor, the wysiwyg markdown editor. That's currently in the wiki we're going to continue some behind the scenes. Changes this milestone with an effort to preserve the unchanged markdown as you round trip through the content, editor and specifically in this milestone, we'll be working on deserializing, some of the gitlab flavored markdown node types on in the front end, so you won't see any changes here, but it's a significant step towards completing this epic and hopefully we'll have the improvements wrapped up here over the next few milestones.

One thing you will see, though, is a ux improvement to the content editor. So if you work with diagrams a lot you can, you may understand that you know. Text-Based diagrams can sometimes be hard to follow and it really helps to have a preview. So in the content, editor now as you're editing, a mermaid diagram, there'll be a new preview icon and you'll be able to click that and get a live preview.

As you are working of the diagram, as it will appear in the rendered page, so that'll be a really helpful improvement so that you don't have to switch back and forth, save your progress and then generate the preview and there'll be more iterations on the ux. Here we have a lot of ideas of where we can take this in the later milestones as well. So I hope you enjoy that. As I mentioned, the planning issue has a link to our milestone board. You can see all our issues there feel free to that.

Mention me with questions or comments, and I will see you next milestone thanks a lot.
