What this looks like

If CRM connectors becomes Sales integrations, note whether the scope changed or only the label changed.

Before you move on

Can someone importing an older spreadsheet map its categories correctly?

Write down the evidence for your answer. If you cannot point to a concrete example, revise the work before treating it as ready.

A repeatable workflow

  1. Start with a real visitor question.
  2. Test labels against representative listings.
  3. Keep category changes understandable for editors and visitors.

Where Directoryz fits
