Storyboard Extension

Use when: Page has multiple sketches (multi-step flows, state changes, transitions)

Base: Start with page-specification.template.md


What Changes

1. Add State Flow Overview (before Page Sections)

After Reference Materials, add:

## State Flow Overview

{Brief description of states}

![Overview](Sketches/{page-number}-{page-name}-Overview.jpg)

┌─────────────┐    ┌─────────────┐    ┌─────────────┐
│  STATE 1    │───▶│  STATE 2    │───▶│  STATE 3    │
└─────────────┘    └─────────────┘    └─────────────┘

| State | Name | Visual | Entry | Actions |
|-------|------|--------|-------|---------|
| **1** | {name} | {color/icon} | {trigger} | {actions} |
| **2** | {name} | {color/icon} | {trigger} | {actions} |

2. State 1 = Normal Page Specification

Document State 1 using the standard page spec structure:

  • Page Sections
  • Objects with OBJECT IDs
  • Groups with nested objects

This is the baseline that other states reference.


3. States 2+ = Differences Only

After State 1, add for each additional state:

# State 2: {State Name} — Differences from State 1

![State 2](Sketches/{page-number}-{page-name}-2-{state-name}.jpg)

> **The Story:** {User experience narrative}

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| Purpose | {what this state does} |
| Entry | {trigger from previous state} |
| Previous | State 1 |
| Next | State 3 / {options} |

### Changes from State 1

| OBJECT ID | Change | Details |
|-----------|--------|---------|
| `{existing-id}` | Modified | {what changed} |
| `{existing-id}` | Hidden | {why hidden} |
| `{new-id}` | Added | {new element} |

### State 2 Elements

{Only document NEW objects not in State 1}

#### {New Object}

**OBJECT ID:** `{page-name}-{new-object}`

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| Component | [{Component}]({path}) |
| Translation Key | `{key}` |
| SE | "{text}" |
| EN | "{text}" |

Key Principles

  1. State 1 is baseline — fully documented
  2. States 2+ show only changes — reuse OBJECT IDs
  3. Same IDs across statesbooking-detail-header stays the same, just describe what changed
  4. New elements get new IDs — only in the state they first appear
