June 2025 monthly summary for Esri/templates-common-library: Delivered a key feature enabling granular gallery configurability with the new useOrgCategories parameter. The parameter defaults to false and is presented as a radio-button setting, allowing admins to control how organization-level categories are applied within the gallery. This improves configurability for customer deployments and reduces potential misconfigurations when organizing content. Major work focused on a single feature enhancement with visible business impact: administrative control over category usage in the gallery, which aligns with platform flexibility goals and customer needs. The change is implemented in the following commit: - c7fb006bdf642b2780fd2cf05ae36560669ada6c ("chore(gallery): add new config value for useOrgCategories (#710)"). Overall impact: increased configurability, potential reduction in support tickets related to category visibility, and a cleaner path for per-organization customization. Future work may include tests and documentation updates to reflect the new setting.
