# | Question | Owner | Target Date | Resolution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
OQ-1 | What is the maximum number of managed categories allowed per team? | -- | -- | Removed -- No hard cap for MVF. |
OQ-2 | "Recently added" sort definition: channel mapped to category date or channel creation date? | PM | Pre-implementation | Resolved [VPM-F4] -- Sort uses channel creation date (newest first). Label updated to "Recently created." |
OQ-3 | When feature is disabled while categories/mappings exist, confirm data preservation and restoration behavior on re-enable. | PM | Pre-implementation | Resolved [VPM-F3] -- Confirmed: all category entities and channel mappings are preserved on disable. Re-enabling restores categories and mappings in users' sidebars as before. |
OQ-4 | Database migration strategy. | -- | -- | Removed [VPM-13] -- Tech spec concern, not UX spec scope. |
OQ-5 | Where in System Console does the feature flag toggle live? Experimental Features section or a new section? | PM | Pre-implementation | Pending |
OQ-7 | The icon that represents these managed categories must be added to Compass Icons before implementation. | Design Systems | Pre-implementation | Pending decision on icon |
OQ-6 | Should the inline "Create new category" option in the dropdown be the canonical method, or should typing a non-matching value always offer inline creation? | PM | Pre-design-finalization | Resolved The "Create new category" option appears after the user has typed at least 2 characters that do not exactly match an existing category name. If channel creation fails, the category may persist as an empty category visible in Team Settings. |
