Visual Essays Questions/Issues

[Richel325]

Hello! I'm a cultural heritage developer at Dartmouth College and we are hoping to use visual essays, but the format seems to have changed with the latest release and I have some questions.

1. What happens to older content when you implement upgrades? Can we find it somewhere else, and if not, how can we migrate it? (i.e. https://lab.plant-humanities.org/maize/)
2. Is there flexibility in styling/layout to make things look like the older version uses above?
3. Can the old iteration be used to build in Markdown without the updated web interface?
4. How can we create our own entity identifiers for our materials/content? (Can we make public URLs for each resource image in ResourceSpace?) How could we host them? Our museum and library would want to use our collections, which are not currently available publicly on Wikidata/Wikipedia or Google, so we'd need to create our own manifests and entity identifiers unless there is another way.
5. Why doesn't the thumbnail for the logo appear or work when trying to render a new Visual Essay?

Many thanks!
