Hey devs and site operators,

To reflect how the repo has grown to encompass all Open edX Studio pages, frontend-app-course-authoring has been renamed to **frontend-app-authoring**. [More details and rationale here](https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-authoring/issues/1250).

Thanks to GitHub’s robust URL redirection mechanism, frontend-app-course-authoring should seamlessly redirect to frontend-app-authoring forever, so _ **no action is required at this time** _. For the sake of clarity, though, you might choose to update your git refs regardless.

In Tutor-MFE, the frontend app is still called `course-authoring` for now, but we are considering renaming it to `authoring` so that it matches the new repo name. If you have an opinion on that, feel free to weigh in here: [Rename `course-authoring` -\> `authoring`? · Issue #224 · overhangio/tutor-mfe · GitHub](https://github.com/overhangio/tutor-mfe/issues/224). If that change goes through, it would be listed as a breaking change in the next major Tutor release.

This change has landed in [Tutor-MFE Nightly](https://github.com/overhangio/tutor-mfe/pull/225) , and it will be part of Tutor-MFE v19 (Sumac). HTTP 301 redirects are provided as to keep backwards compatibility with /course-authoring/ URLs.

Frontend developers who bind-mount the authoring MFE: If your tutor-mfe checkout is [older than this this commit](https://github.com/overhangio/tutor-mfe/commit/6a00aac7834ca4dd6b5bdfc2b9b2e484a43b23d2), then the folder must be named frontend-app-course-authoring. If it newer then that commit, then the folder must be named frontend-app-authoring. When switching from one repo name to the other, un-mount the folder and then re-mount it:

```bash
tutor mounts remove path/to/frontend-app-course-authoring
mv path/to/frontend-app-course-authoring path/to/frontend-app-authoring
tutor mounts add path/to/frontend-app-authoring

```
