  • Name usage dates (ANW-1811). Example: https://archivesspace.mit.edu/agents/people/975

  • Open date spans (ANW-1862) review identified additional issues:

    • Open spans are also present in sidebar display, and fix should also address these

    • Need to consider the impact of open spans on date-based searching in PUI

    • Some questions about whether single dates should be separate from open date spans, best practice for encoding standards

  • Sources display (ANW-1962)

  • Outline issues (ANW-2118). Example: https://archivesspace.mit.edu/agents/corporate_entities/1400

    • Imported relationships from LC plug-in should also be reviewed

    • Display differences when using line breaks in notes as compared to <p> tags

    • Spacing issues in chronologies, citations

    • More documentation may be needed for the outline feature
