Automation workbench

[rofe]

As proposed by @davidnuescheler we should introduce some sort of automation workbench for projects to run custom bulk update scripts on a large number of documents:

What Helix provides

• A client-side library to facilitate access to and modification of content documents that can be used in custom code
• A restricted UI (inside Organizer?) which loads the Helix library as well as the custom bulk action code from the project, and lets admins:
  • paste a large number of URLs
  • use a dropdown to select the custom bulk action they want to execute
  • perform dry runs and review proposed changes
  • perform the bulk change
• Bonus: a number of example actions for common use cases

What the project developer provides

The project developer needs a place to put their bulk action code in. Maybe something along the lines of the sidekick config.js:

/tools/automation/config.js:

window.hlx.initWorkbench({
  tools: [
    {
      title: 'Streamline marquees',
      description: '...',
      action: (urls) => {
        urls.forEach((url) => doSomething(url),
      },
    },
  ],
});

The actions should assume they have access to the functions in the aforementioned Helix library, and run with the admin's SharePoint or gdrive permissions.
