+This report lists all interfaces to other workspaces from the current version of the workspace. Interfaces are grouped by target workspace. The report shows and resolves interfaces as Stages does:
+  * When run against the working version of a process, interfaces resolve to the working version of the target process.
+  * When run against the valid version, interfaces resolve to the valid version of the target.
+  * When run against any other process version, if that version has ever been valid, interfaces resolve to the valid version of the target. If that version has never been valid, interfaces resolve to the working version.
 **Purpose**: Understand the dependencies between workspaces as well as what interfaces are available. To avoid missing associations, these workspaces should be released together.
