Marking Process Guidance as not reviewed yet

Is there a simple way of marking the process guidance as not yet reviewed/updated?

At the moment I am concentrating on customising the process template, work items, workflow, etc. Obviously I need to go back through the guidance updating as necessary to reflect our own processes. However, it is quite likely that the Team Project using the process template will be created before I am able to get around to doing this and certainly before a complete review can take place. What I would therefore like to do is to mark those areas (text) of the guidance with say a different font colour so that the development team can know which areas of the guidance have been reviewed and which are awaiting review.

The easiest way I can see of doing this is to adjust the msf.css stylesheet by

  • changing the font colour for the relevant styles - the trouble with this is that this will affect all entries using that style and it will be therefore difficult to mark the differences
  • add some new styles with the appropriate colour change - this will entail a find and replace of the HTML files post MSFWinBuild and would therefore require running every time a build is done. Again though it is about spotting the text that has been reviewed against that which hasn't. So use this idea in combination with...
  • alter the schemas and InfoPath templates to have an additional flag that marks an entry in the guidance as reviewed=true so that MSFWinBuild picks up this in the XSL and drops the appropriate CSS style in place.
Does anyone have any ideas on how this could best be achieved? Has anyone done a similar thing?

I don't want to ditch the guidance and only start to fill it in as I review it, as there is nonetheless some useful information there reviewed or not!

Hi Steve,

Your approach seems as good as any. This is an interesting idea that we hadn't explored when creating MSF.

Cheers,
