Change 'Go back to Compliance center' to 'Go to 'Edit Framework' (or similar) button and redirect user to 'Edit Framework' page

Background

With the upcoming release of custom compliance frameworks, users will be prompted to return back to the Compliance center with a button that says Go back to the Compliance center . When this button is selected, users are redirected back to the Compliance center and, in particular, to the Frameworks tab in the Compliance center.

Problem

The key issue here is that, once the user is redirected to the 'Frameworks' tab in the Compliance center, they are faced with the default ordering of frameworks in the dashboard - that is by alphabetical order. This breaks the workflow for the user as, if they did not attach a project to the compliance framework during the creation phase, they will have to search for the framework they created again before they can apply projects.

Solution

  1. Having the option to go back to the framework editor in the description text.
  2. Let the framework be sorted by last updated by default.
