| 48 | +## Concept |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +Early visual and functional approaches for new content. At this stage, initial directions are being defined but **nothing is final**. Designs and implementations may **change substantially** as ideas are tested and refined. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +You can use concept content as a **design reference** for your own implementation. However, be prepared to **incorporate future changes** once the content matures. Design is always available; a development implementation **may not yet exist** and typically joins in the beta phase. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +<DBCard spacing='large' style={{ marginBlockEnd: 'var(--db-spacing-fixed-2xl)' }} data-color="warning"> |
| 55 | +### What to expect |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +- **Design available**, development implementation may follow later |
| 58 | +- **No stability guarantees** — API, design, and accessibility are not yet validated and may change at any time |
| 59 | +- **Limited documentation** and usage guidelines |
| 60 | +- **Plan for rework** as the content matures toward Beta and Stable |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +</DBCard> |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +## Beta |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +Content is **functional and largely stable**, but minor visual or functional changes may still occur. Design and development have been **aligned**, and the content has undergone **initial user testing** — it addresses a **validated user need**. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +We recommend **testing Beta content thoroughly** in your projects and sharing feedback to help improve quality and reliability. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +<DBCard spacing='large' style={{ marginBlockEnd: 'var(--db-spacing-fixed-2xl)' }} data-color="informational"> |
| 71 | +### What to expect |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +- **Aligned between design and development** |
| 74 | +- Suitable for project use, but **minor breaking changes are still possible** |
| 75 | +- Documentation and usage guidelines are available but may be incomplete |
| 76 | +- Accessibility and cross-browser testing is **underway but not fully validated** |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +</DBCard> |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +## Stable |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +Content is considered **mature and reliable** — accessible, brand-compliant, and Design System conformant. Stable content is **mandatory to use** as the UX standard. |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +We **continuously update and improve** stable content to ensure it meets user needs and current standards. |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +<DBCard spacing='large' style={{ marginBlockEnd: 'var(--db-spacing-fixed-2xl)' }} data-color="successful"> |
| 87 | +### What to expect |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +- **Fully validated** for accessibility, cross-browser, and cross-framework compatibility |
| 90 | +- **Complete documentation**, usage guidelines, and design specs |
| 91 | +- **API stability** — breaking changes only happen in Major releases |
| 92 | +- **Ongoing maintenance** and regular improvements |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +</DBCard> |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +## Legacy |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +Content is **outdated and no longer actively developed**. Only limited support in the form of **critical bug fixes** is provided. We recommend **migrating to current Design System content**. |
| 99 | + |

| 107 | +</DBCard> |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +## Deprecated |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +Content is **marked for removal** and will be **fully removed in a future Major release**. In design, deprecated content is visually marked first, giving you **time to migrate** before it is removed. |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +<DBCard spacing='large' style={{ marginBlockEnd: 'var(--db-spacing-fixed-2xl)' }}elevationLevel='2'> |
| 114 | +### What to expect |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +- **Content will be removed** — plan your migration |
| 117 | +- **No bug fixes** or maintenance |
| 118 | +- A **sufficient transition period** is provided before removal in a major release |
