What

Feedback from colleagues has raised that some of the guidance on 'opening links in a new tab' could be improved to be clearer and simpler, avoiding some specialist user-centred design terminology. It was read to be a discussion note rather than clear guidance.

There was also a small confusion when the guidance tries to distinguish between 'open in new tab' vs. 'open in new window'

We've agreed to make an improvement to this paragraph as a small story.
