Research has moved

Research pages now live by type: guides, explainers, evaluations, training and reference

The Federal Modernization Workbook’s research area has been retired. Each research page now lives in the section for its type, and keeps its status label until it is reviewed and proved.

The Research area was the workbook’s staging area. Its pages now live in the section that matches what each page is, in the same way Microsoft Learn sorts its content by type. Old links to research pages still work: each one forwards to the page’s new address.

Type	What it is	Where it lives now
How-to guide	How to build one book’s design on a named product, step by step	Companion guides, under Books
Explainer	A plain-language account of a concept, for people learning the area	Explainers, under Books
Evaluation	A product or technology choice, judged against a book’s requirements	Evaluations
Training	A learning path: modules to work through in order	Training
Reference	Lookup tables to check facts against	Reference: the Federal Framework Crosswalk with its RMF Map and M-19-17 and FICAM Crosswalk, and the Microsoft Practice Crosswalk, beside the Command Reference

Each page keeps its status label (Draft or In review) until it is reviewed and proved. The labels, and what moves a page from one to the next, are explained in Status labels.
