Rolled up UI changes across versions option 2

[amyblais]

@claude I want to address this customer feedback: "Release notes already list UI items under “User Interface (UI),” but admins want to easily see the changes rolled up across versions (“What changed in the UI from the version we were on to the one we’re upgrading to?”). They also want to more easily track Accessibility (ADA) improvements/fixes release to release."

This is the implementation strategy:

The "Manual Table" Approach

While it requires a bit more typing, a simple Markdown or rST table is the most "plug-and-play" way to satisfy admins. You can create one page called "UI & ADA Roadmap" and manually append a row every time you do a release.

Example Table Structure: | Version | Category | Change Description | Internal Ticket # | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | v2.4 | UI | New Sidebar Navigation | UI-902 | | v2.4 | ADA | Increased contrast for Login | ADA-102 | | v2.3 | UI | Dark Mode Toggle added | UI-885 |

@claude Can you use this approach, but instead add the new file under the Releases category https://github.com/mattermost/docs/edit/master/source/product-overview/releases-lifecycle.rst?

UI & ADA Roadmap Moved to Releases Category ✅

I've successfully moved the UI & ADA Roadmap to be under the Releases category as requested.

Todo List:

• Examine current implementation and releases structure
• Create UI & ADA Roadmap in correct location under Releases
• Update releases-lifecycle.rst to include the new roadmap
• Commit and push changes
• Provide PR creation link

What was implemented:

✅ Created /source/product-overview/ui-ada-roadmap.rst directly under the Releases category with:

• Manual table structure with columns: Version, Category, Change Description, Internal Ticket #
• Sample data as provided in the original issue:
  • v2.4 UI: New Sidebar Navigation (UI-902)
  • v2.4 ADA: Increased contrast for Login (ADA-102)
  • v2.3 UI: Dark Mode Toggle added (UI-885)
• Clear instructions for administrators on how to use the roadmap
• Guidelines for updating the roadmap with future releases

✅ Updated /source/product-overview/releases-lifecycle.rst to:

• Include the new roadmap in the toctree navigation
• Add a descriptive bullet point: "Track UI and accessibility changes across releases"

The UI & ADA Roadmap is now properly placed under the Releases category, making it easy for administrators to find alongside other release-related documentation.
