The code work continues without significant news to report.

Buttons have been updated to the new styles and the only thing remaining is to cleanup the old, unused code, as listed in this issue: #1187

Update 2023-05-08

• Clean up process continues on Clean up after the buttons are implemented #1187

[fcoveram]

All issues related to the project implementation are done, do we need something else @obulat before moving us to the delivery stage?

The two success criteria are met:

• VButton code component follows the design documentation specs.
• Design Library documents the VButton-based components following Storybook
  documentation.
