Trustero now provides a new Evidence Index page to see all evidence in one place. Previously evidence was only shown on control pages. This was good most of the time, since evidence directly supports controls, but had the disadvantage of not providing an evidence-first way to look through everything that was collected, sort it, filter it, etc. 

This page also allows adding new evidence that is not yet associated with a control. This can be helpful as you’re getting started and aren’t sure yet which controls should be associated with evidence, or if you want to make the association at a later time. 

This new page works in conjunction with the evidence detail page we released in October.
