[JohnnieJnr]

@JohnnieJnr please update

hello @mojafa I'll do the changes and push them for review. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

[mojafa]

No worries

[JohnnieJnr]

@mojafa I already have my author assets merged from a previous work I did so adding it creates a merge conflict, hence the reason I didn't include it in the PR

[mojafa]

@JohnnieJnr I wanted to let you know that I've just pushed some changes to the main branch that fix some linting issues and update the compliance rules. These updates should help you pass the content compliance checks in your current pull request.

When you get a chance, please pull the latest changes from the main branch into your working branch. This should make the integration smoother and help avoid any potential conflicts.

[mojafa]

This branch has conflicts so pull from main

[JohnnieJnr]

@mojafa I pull the main and fix the conflict

[JohnnieJnr]

@mojafa I pulled the main branch to my working branch and pushed the changes.

[JohnnieJnr]

@mojafa I messed up the branch trying to fix the merge conflict. I'm closing this pull request and creating another branch for this
