It happens at every firm. People pull from what they know, like past projects, legacy libraries and outdated templates, and those old standards come along for the ride. Join us for a live session with [Christopher Alexander](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cpalexander/) of [Progressive Companies](https://www.weareprogressive.com/), who went diving through his firm's own legacy content and turned what he found into Guardian *Mappings*. He’ll walk through how he uses old projects and libraries to teach Guardian the firm's standard, so instead of cleaning up the same mess again and again, outdated content gets converted automatically before it reaches a live model.  If you can't make it live, register anyway and we'll send you the recording.
