Feature Request Form

Problem you are trying to address with this feature

Currently we save the transcript from a YouTube video when it's first loaded in an assignment, and we don't check to see if that transcript has changed.

Video owners might update transcripts to be more accurate, comply with changing WCAG requirements, etc. Currently instructors using those videos can't benefit from the changes to the transcripts.

Your solution

Slack conversation here: https://hypothes-is.slack.com/archives/C2C2U40LW/p1724674514774539. One possibility would be to give instructors a button to allow the occasional re-syncing of the transcript to fetch the newest version.

Consider adding a button that allows anyone to re-sync the transcript. Make sure we don't lose the currently stored transcript until we've loaded the new one.
