Product Information

Team: govcio-vfep-codereviewers Product: Resources for schools Feature: Convert Legacy Markdown SCO page into a React App

Findings details

VA.gov Experience Standard - issue: User can't determine where a page is within the VA.gov website. VA.gov Experience Standard - category: Findability Launch-blocking: No Design System review: No Collab Cycle Reviewer: @erinrwhite (IA)

Description

[!NOTE]
This issue will be resolved if the tool returns to its original URL outside of the Education section of VA.gov.

The breadcrumbs are currently VA.gov home > Resources for schools but the tool is now one level deeper in the site, part of the education section, so the breadcrumbs need to be updated to reflect that there is a parent page for the tool.

Link, screenshot or steps to recreate


Recommended action

Two options:

• Move the tool back to its original URL, as a direct child page of VA.gov home; or
  • Update breadcrumbs to accurately reflect the page's hierarchy on VA.gov.

@alexisbetz we ask that you don't close out the Staging Review finding tickets until the issue is resolved. Putting on the backlog doesn't suffice, so I am reopening this ticket. Thank you. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
