GitLab / Netlify CMS learning resources

In this Netlify CMS learning resource video we demonstrate how to create and edit case studies using Netlify CMS.

This is a Netlify Learning Resource video dedicated to editing or creating a new DevOps Comparison page using Netlify CMS.

This is a quick, early video describing how to use the Netlify CMS interface for data entry on the DevOps tools comparison pages. The new UI is not yet ready as of the time of recording, but this training should serve to train folks up on data entry we can get done in parallel with the wrap up on the new comparison component UI.

In the video, Tyler Williams mentions handbook entries for the new content type, but those are also pending review by the digital experience team, and may not be ready yet.

In this installment of our Netlify CMS learning resources we introduce Case Studies as a content type available to edit in the admin. We also cover that GitLab tools such as the Single File Editor or Web IDE can be used to edit the same content.

Barker and Tyler discuss how to find what's been deployed via Netlify CMS in the www-gitlab-com repository, how to link topic pages to child topic pages, and upcoming changes to this video series.
