As someone who uses the VA.gov content style guide, I need a way to quickly understand what guidance is new since the last time I visited the resource.
Issue identified
The "last updated" date on the front page of the style guide shows the date that that page was last update. That's not very often. So, the last updated date currently shows as 2019. However, there have been updates to deeper pages within the style guide since then. A VA stakeholder noted that this makes it difficult to figure out what new guidance they should be following.
We can address this in a few ways:
Send out more frequent update notifications
Add a "latest updates" list to the front page and keep it updated with brief notes/links to the latest updates (could pick updates from the past 3, 6 months, latest 5 updates, etc.)
Make the "last updated" date on the front page match the latest update to any page. This may require some technical lift.
