Note: Delete the description statements, complete each step. None are optional, but can be justified as to why they cannot be completed as written. Provide known gaps to testing that may raise the risk of merging to production.

Are you removing, renaming or moving a folder in this PR?

• No, I'm not changing any folders (skip to TeamSites and delete the rest of this section)
• Yes, I'm removing, renaming or moving a folder

If the folder you changed contains a manifest.json, search for its entryName in the content-build registry.json (the entryName there will match).

If an entry for this folder exists in content-build and you are:

1. Deleting a folder:

   1. First search vets-website for all instances of the entryName in your manifest.json and remove them in a separate PR. Look particularly for references in src/applications/static-pages/static-pages-entry.js and src/platform/forms/constants.js. If you do not do this, other applications will break!
      • Add the link to your merged vets-website PR here
   2. Then, Delete the application entry in registry.json and merge that PR before this one
      • Add the link to your merged content-build PR here

2. Renaming or moving a folder: Update the entry in the registry.json, but do not merge it until your vets-website changes here are merged. The content-build PR must be merged immediately after your vets-website change is merged in to avoid CI errors with content-build (and Tugboat).

⚠️ TeamSites ⚠️

Examples of a TeamSite: https://va.gov/health and https://benefits.va.gov/benefits/. This scenario is also referred to as the "injected" header and footer. You can reach out in the #sitewide-public-websites Slack channel for questions.

Did you change site-wide styles, platform utilities or other infrastructure?

• No
• Yes, and I used the proxy-rewrite steps to test the injected header scenario

Summary

• Adds session check
• Removes unneeded logic
