Capability Status Options:

Status: Reviewed / Confirmed Details The capabilities / rows marked in green are summarized fully and the status of each application’s support for that row has been confirmed + fully reviewed.	Status: Tentative Alignment / Reviewed Details If the row is yellow we believe we have correctly characterized the support level ( Supported / Not Supported / In Development), but we have not fully reviewed the app + screens to confirm support level and whether there are any clear differences that should be tracked somehow (potentially in a new row on this table.)	Status: Needs Input / Not Complete If the row is marked red, we still need to confirm capabilities for this in one or both applications.
