RE: future functionality

["Brierley, Sean" <Sean -at- Quodata -dot- Com>]

I run into that all the time.

It depends. If the functionality is due to be released shortly, I often
write fiction.

Otherwise, I edit them out of any screen captures.

Or, when overruled, I write grand fables of future enhancements, of frogs
and princesses, dragons and gold . . ..

LOL!

More than all of the above, I lobby strenuously to exclude switches,
buttons, boxes, and GUI objects that are placeholders and are
non-functional.

Cheers,
