Oct 1, 2025Month 2025-10 — IllinoisRef/mechref delivered the Identify Need page and design process integration, implementing new Astro pages and integrating them into the design process navigation. The work defines stakeholders and engagement methods and standardizes navigation with dynamic placeholders, enabling a more consistent design-scoping workflow across teams. A cleanup effort removed obsolete identify_need pages and fixed broken navigation links, restoring reliable routing and reducing dead-end navigation. UI/text formatting on the Identify Need pages was improved for consistency, including a new BlueText component import and clearer callout labeling, enhancing readability and user guidance. These changes collectively improve user onboarding to the design process, reduce maintenance risk, and accelerate cross-team collaboration.
