Problem to solve

With Protected branches moving as part of source code rules &6351, the MVC proposal leveraged the existing design to protected branches. Given the new context and the engineering effort to rebuild the UI this might be a good opportunity to look for improvements to the current design.

Potential improvements

  • Improve visibility of selections (currently hidden behind dropdowns)
  • Standardise with Approvals section
    • Table style
    • User display
    • Edit flow
