Feature Details & Management

Overview

The feature detail page is where you manage every aspect of a single feature. It displays all the information associated with the feature -- from its title and intent to functional requirements, acceptance checks, and scope -- and lets you edit each section inline. This guide covers the layout and the key actions available on this page.

Page Layout

The feature detail page uses a two-column layout:

• Main content area (left) -- Contains the feature intent, functional requirements, acceptance checks, in-scope items, out-of-scope items, and comments section.
• Sidebar (right) -- Shows metadata and quick-action fields including status, priority, category, assignee, labels, due date, estimated effort, and view count.

At the top of the page, the feature title appears alongside its status badge, feature ID (such as FEAT-0001), and action buttons.

Editing the Title

Click on the feature title to enter edit mode. Type your changes and save. The title updates immediately across the features list and any references to this feature.

Feature Intent

The intent section describes the purpose and context of the feature. Click the edit icon to modify the content using the rich text editor. You can format text with headings, bold, italic, lists, and links.

Tip: A strong feature intent explains what the feature does, who it serves, and why it matters. This context helps developers and reviewers understand the feature without needing additional explanation.

Functional Requirements

Functional requirements are listed as individual items that describe specific behaviors the feature must exhibit. Each requirement should be testable and written in plain language.

To manage requirements:

• Add a new requirement by clicking the add button and typing the requirement text.
• Edit an existing requirement by clicking on it.
• Remove a requirement by clicking the delete icon next to it.
• Reorder requirements by dragging them into the desired position.

Acceptance Checks

Acceptance checks define the binary conditions that must be met for the feature to be considered complete. They work like a checklist.

• Each check can be marked as done or not done using the checkbox.
• Add, edit, and remove checks using the same controls as functional requirements.

In-Scope and Out-of-Scope

These two sections define the boundaries of the feature:

• In Scope lists everything the feature will deliver.
• Out of Scope lists what the feature explicitly will not include.

Both sections are editable lists. Add or remove items to keep the scope definition current as the feature evolves.

Changing Status

Use the status dropdown in the sidebar to update the feature's current stage. Available statuses include Suggested, Added, Todo, In Progress, Done, Cancelled, and Archived. The status badge next to the title updates immediately.

Assigning Team Members

Click the assignee field in the sidebar to assign the feature to a team member. A dropdown shows available team members from your project. Select a member to assign them, or clear the field to unassign.

The assignee's name and initials appear on the feature card in the features list, making it easy to see who is responsible at a glance.

Priority, Category, and Labels

• Priority -- Set to High, Medium, or Low using the priority dropdown.
• Category -- Choose from the available categories to group the feature with related functionality.
• Labels -- Add custom labels to tag the feature for filtering and organization. Type a label name and press Enter to add it.

Due Date, Effort, and View Count

• Due Date -- Click the date field to open a calendar picker and set a deadline.
• Estimated Effort -- Enter a time estimate to help with planning and sprint allocation.
• View Count -- Displays how many times the detail page has been opened, indicating team interest.

Warning: Changing a feature's status to Archived removes it from default list views. Make sure the team is aware before archiving active work.

Next Steps

Use the comments section at the bottom of the feature detail page to discuss the feature with your team. See the Comments & Discussions guide for details on how to collaborate effectively through comments.
