Description
When the Terms of Use (ToU) for a Dataverse installation have been changed existing users should be made aware of the new ToU after log-in, and they should be prompted to accept them.
In our installation, we do not add the ToU in the user registration form, but only a short text and a link to our repository policies. Therefore, it should be possible to indicate that the ToU have been changed without having to edit the content of the ToU field in the user registration form.

Research direction
Start by tracing the log-in flow and the user registration form's Terms of Use field. Determine how a changed ToU can be identified independently of editing its content, then verify that existing users are prompted after log-in and can record acceptance of the revised terms.
