Tagging @megzehn for this one as it's content focused :)
Hi @skylerschain , thanks for the update! Your original target date for CAIA work was July 20, but we want to avoid double work if you're making updates based on design intent. Would it make sense to pause this until next week and provide our suggestions based on the updated designs?
Yes I think that makes sense! I will circle back to this next week with an updated set of designs.

Hi @skylerschain — documenting some notes from our meeting last week, and also pulling in @kristinoletmuskat to note IA / OOUX considerations.
This work is moving towards an async midpoint (not yet scheduled). We'll provide content support in stages. The first piece to focus on in our current sprint is the new cards in these 2 Sketch screens. Veterans usually have 2 to 10 of these cards:
As part of this ongoing content work, we'll need to resolve these inconsistent word clusters flagged in design intent feedback:
@skylerschain could you also provide the list of "Recent activity" steps that we'll need descriptions for in that screen? I think you mentioned it would be a long list, so we'll want to make a plan for those.
Yes, thank you @laurwill!
As a source of truth, let's use this link: https://www.sketch.com/s/98e35645-34eb-40cf-80c1-6c4952943584/v/4LPabm/p/B9C46ABC-36AD-4CA8-9896-55762FC6912E/canvas?posX=-718.5416497737808&posY=-3212.7872891352317&zoom=0.36041006445884705
This has a few minor tweaks from the last one we looked at, but this is the Final Spec I'll be passing off to developers and I'll maintain this with our latest language changes.
As for the "Recent activity" list, those are tracking updates coming from VBMS. The current version of this appears as "updates" in the CST claim status page (see below). I'm not sure where that full list of strings lives, if anywhere, but I'll check with my engineering team.
Ok, here is the full list of strings for the "Updates" / "Recent activity" section.
We added a notice for: {linkTofile}
You or someone else submitted {event.displayName}.
We have reviewed your submitted evidence for {event.displayName}. We will notify you if we need additional information.
We closed the notice for {event.displayName}
You or someone else submitted {file ? "${file}"
: 'a file'}.
Your claim moved to {getUserPhaseDescription(phase)}
Thank you. VA received your claim
@laurwill adding another small request here! We're looking for some guidance on how to write out our page titles. I've included context to this in this ticket here.
We need help determining:
I'm happy to meet about this if it's easier than working async!
@skylerschain I may give some content feedback in partnership with Laura from a mobile app standpoint, since these changes will affect us as well. Could you give me access to comment in the Sketch files? Thanks!
Done :)
Hello @kristinoletmuskat
We have a separate ticket that is dependent on the work here. Per the ticket, we need to update the browser tab titles. As we know it, the browser tab title will be a combination of the breadcrumb, H1, and H2. I'm looking for some help, if you could please provide answers to these questions:
Hey @uxgary -- I was reading through the ticket you connected and looking through Josh Kim's suggestions. It looks like ya'll might have made some decisions based on his feedback? Or have you solidified your H1s with content @laurwill?
Here's some info for your questions, but first we gotta confirm what you've selected for the H1
@skylerschain can you remind me why we can't put the claimed conditions in the H1s? Ex: 'Claim for Headaches, PTSD, left foot condition'
@kristinoletmuskat Is the H1 you're referring to the "Your compensation claim" title?
I think putting the claim conditions in the H1 could be tough, because we don't control how many of those there are, and often there are quite a few. So it could lead to really long H1s in a high portion of claims.
Thank you for your feedback @kristinoletmuskat the information you've provided is great. One last thing, we wanted to have browser tab unique in the event that a veteran (incl. ones using assistive tech) has two or more claims tab open they can differentiate.
I wanted to share some ideas that came to mind (based on the H2s), I wanted to know what you think or if you could modify these in the way you think is most appropriate.
Generic title for the entire page:
Tab specific (the page title would update when the user clicks on a tab)
Chatted with Skylar and we're going to touch base on a call tomorrow.
But I also wanted to mention this! Our title tags are all initial caps which is different from H1s - so the title tag would be "Status Of June 15, 2023 Compensation Claim | Veterans Affairs"
Outcomes from the meeting Aug 31, 2023
We will go with Gary's second option for browser tab titles. The only note is to remove "your" to keep it more concise.
To make the breadcrumbs more unique for the different parts of the detail page we will update them to:
Skyler to create mocks reflecting these decisions and will post a link here ASAP for the team's review.
Update: After discussion with engineering, it's not feasible to have the breadcrumbs say "Status of claim," "Files for claim," etc. because we won't know if it's a claim vs. a decision review type the way that this code is currently written.
As a result we are going with the following for breadcrumbs to keep it claim type-agnostic.
The latest mocks reflect these changes.
Hey @skylerschain do we still need this ticket open?
Nope!

Timeframe
Will this new product be released incrementally (for instance 25% of users initially)?
Note: If you checked yes, we'll reach out to discuss details about the content in the react widget.
When do you expect to launch your product to 100% of users?
Please provide an estimated date so our team can create other relevant tickets.
