# --explanation--

The `Past Continuous` tense is used to describe actions that were ongoing at a specific time in the past. When two `Past Continuous` sentences are used together, they often describe simultaneous actions or actions happening alongside each other.  

In this sentence, Linda is describing how she and her team were both working and updating the user interface continuously throughout the project. This shows two actions happening at the same time in the past, providing context or background for each other. For example: 

`While I was preparing the report, they were testing the new features.` - This means the action of my preparing the report and the testing of the new features happened at the same time.
