Description

## Most important changes in order of importance

### 1. Fix the form layouts so that:
- Questions are clear and well written and use consistent terminology and voice.
- Options are easy to select (radio buttons instead of combo boxes)
- Hierarchy of information is correct (currently type sizes vary randomly)
- Instructions are not in the boxes, but above them.
- The errors are clear and show the users what they need to correct

### 2. Fix UX for draft proposals:
- A better way to see draft proposals - i.e. a link to the user's draft proposals on the Budget page
- Management of draft proposals:
- Restart a draft proposal
- Delete a draft proposal
- Better wording and instructions (in guides)

### 3. Upgrade search experience
- Use Design System search designs for new search:
- Shows which filter is applied
- Shows the sort order
- Add more sort orders:
- By category
- By cost
- By name
- Search for category name (i.e. a search for "Core" should show up all the Core proposals)

### 4. Important UX fixes
- Fix type hierarchy and layout on proposal page. Follow existing GovTool design patterns.
- Add a feature to show a user their proposals - 'as a proposer of at least one budget proposal, I want to be able to easily and quickly find my own proposals so that I can see comments, etc on them'
- Make editing an existing proposal easier/possible (one page editing?)
- Always show username in interface - users need to know that they're signed in and under what name (they could have several)
- Write guide entries to tell people how to create proposals and comment on them
- have proper type hierarchy on proposal detail pages (the header text is smaller than the sub-header text

### 5. Nice to have, but still important
- Drop "Read More" links - show entire text
- Fix UX around Polls and comments - polls are not in correct position, and information is confusing and hidden.
