Recipes
Task-oriented walkthroughs that combine several operations:
- Folder navigation (resolve a path, list folders/files, create+verify)
- Real-world search patterns
- Check a folder, then create a sub-folder and upload missing files
- External (placeholder-first) upload
- Read & update records through the content routes
- Collections (content groups) — create, fill with confined assets, share, clean up
- Live channels (resolve by name, read status, start/stop safely)
