The Core Content team owns both the core authoring experience as well as several key building blocks for content on the platform, such as videos and readings. Recent projects by this team include launching an authoring change log so authors can view who made changes recently, as well as enhancing our rich text capabilities while making sure that the content authors create is accessible and mobile-friendly.
