-Feature: CMS.Course checklists

-  Scenario: A course author sees checklists defined by edX

-    Then I see the four default edX checklists

-  Scenario: A course author can mark tasks as complete
-    Given I have opened Checklists

-    And I reload the page

-  Scenario: A task can link to a location within Studio
-    Given I have opened Checklists
-    When I select a link to the course outline
-    Then I am brought to the course outline page
-    And I press the browser back button
