 ## What applicants can do
 
 - Browse universities, programs, scholarships and student cities in one coherent interface.
 - Explore programs through a 17-field, applicant-oriented taxonomy, including Chinese language and international Chinese education.
-- Share URL-based filters, sorting and pagination without losing search state.
+- Share URL-based filters, sorting and pagination; remove active filters individually and preserve browser history.
+- Move from application state and deadline to fees, language and duration through decision-first cards and detail-page application snapshots.
+- Keep identity-only records available for official discovery while excluding thin pages from search-engine indexing until they meet deterministic completeness gates.
 - Save records locally, compare up to four programs and print a compact comparison sheet.
 - Inspect field-level source links, last-check dates and uncertainty states.
 - Use English, Chinese and Russian public routes; German, French and Spanish are the first reviewed expansion routes.
