Thanks for your patience during our recent outage. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata.

We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed.
