Process to add Content

1. Add new URLs and preferrably categoryPath also as it is needed later anyway using Postman POST
2. Run "processing" action on newly added content using Postman.
3. Review content using '/admin' page to make sure screenshots and text looks good enough. Failed content requires manual modifications/fixes.
4. Upload images to Google Cloud Storage bucket using script/storage/upload-snapshot.sh
5. Approve and Publish content and view it in DEV/STAGING.
6. Export newly added content json using script/db/export-from-local.sh and after verification, script/db/import-to-prod.sh
