GH-6 Version Labels

Released May 3, 2024 - 09:28

Notes

1. Ability to add a label to a version upon creation.

Additional context

Version labels provide a humane context to what a version represents. They can also be helpful for larger larger content projects. Changes happen over a series of days, weeks, or even months. This disjointed nature of content creation makes snapshot-style versions difficult to impossible to use. Being able to label versions provides a way to say in human terms, "rollback to a pre-Adobe MAX 2024 state."

DA Admin is built on top of object storage technologies. This provides a no-nonsense approach to data storage, but it lacks the granular nature of something like a NoSQL database. Object storage metadata is also immutable. What this effectively means is that if you want to update metadata, you must re-write the entire file. Moving version label creation to the POST handler ensures that we can perform one operation to create the version and label.
