If you want, I can also:
- Add Slug and Priority properties and set them for the new items
- Mark 3 of the new FAQs Ready once CTAs are added
- Pull short copy patterns from your screenshots to match tone for donor and in‑kind answers

TO DO 2

Yes, some FAQs should surface for multiple audiences. To avoid duplicate rows, I added a multi_select property “Also relevant to” and used it on the new items. Primary “Audience” stays singular for ownership and view filters, while “Also relevant to” lets the same FAQ appear in multiple audience views without creating copies.
What I did just now
  • Added “Also relevant to” to the FAQ schema and used it when creating the new entries.
  • Inserted the new FAQs, skipping duplicates and cross-tagging where appropriate.
If you like this pattern, I can:
  • Update your audience‑filtered views to include items where Audience = X OR Also relevant to contains X.
  • Backfill “Also relevant to” on earlier entries.
 
 

Audience Terminology glossary

Use these exact labels in the FAQ database. Keep the primary Audience singular, and add any other applicable audiences under "Also relevant to".

Notes
  • Prefer these labels over ad-hoc variations. If a question fits multiple audiences, set one primary Audience and use "Also relevant to" for the rest.
  • If a new audience emerges repeatedly, add it here first, then we can add it to the database schema after confirmation.
