  We have lots of media items and our business wants to copy the data from en version of media item to all other language versions defined in System/Languages. This ensures that media is available in all the languages.

If you ever require to export Sitecore media files to zip (may be to optimize them), SPE (Sitecore Powershell Extension) has probably the easiest way to do this for you.

Here is the list of Sitecore 10 features which I believe still makes it worthy in content management ecosystem - Infrastructure-as-code - Sitecore 10 officially supports Docker, Kubernetes and new Sitecore-provided image repositories. This is really going to speed up on-boarding process for new developers into the project. So, Infrastructure-as-code enables the local setup to be source controlled (like code). New members have to setup the local repository and run few commands to setup their local instance. What's even greater is that the local se
