Chris,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for this note. Can you clarify the procedure would be to modify the staff interface? I read the documentation in the plugins folder:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="https://github.com/hudmol/archivesspace/tree/master/plugins">https://github.com/hudmol/archivesspace/tree/master/plugins</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If I am reading this correctly, one should be able to put any local modifications in the 'local' folder, without having to modify the core code to the application, if you use the same folder/file naming convention as in the main part of the app, then rebuild
the code. Is that the basic procedure one should follow to modify stuff on the staff side?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Reading your note below, it makes it sound like you should modify the core files, which would then get your code out of sync with the main code base.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One other question I have is whether it is possible to have multiple 'local' versions, so that you can have separate themes for repository a, repository b, repository c, etc.</div>

<div>How customizable is the back-end interface for ArchivesSpace? <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<br>
I've been getting feedback from our staff and one thing which folks would like to change is the sidebar navigation present when creating new Resources. It currently seems like about 3/4 or more of the collection-level information is dumped into the Notes.
Is there a way to break more of these out?<br>

Many thanks,<br>
