-Introduction
-------------
-
-This repository is a template for Open edX micro-frontend applications. It is flagged as a Template Repository, meaning it can be used as a basis for new GitHub repositories by clicking the green "Use this template" button above.  The rest of this document describes how to work with your new micro-frontend after you've created a new repository from the template.

 After Copying The Template
 --------------------------
 
-You'll want to do a find-and-replace to replace all instances of ``frontend-app-course-authoring`` with the name of your new repository.

 **Prerequisite**
 
 `Devstack <https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-installing-configuring-and-running/en/latest/installation/index.html>`_.  If you start Devstack with ``make dev.up.ecommerce`` that should give you everything you need as a companion to this frontend.
