[Design] Confusion about auto-triaging when sharing

[Mimi Yin]

Yes, that's correct Jeffrey. The various automatic triaging (button  
triaging and section triaging) options are never mutually exclusive.

Sharing and Edit/Update changes to an item affect the  
sectionTriageStatus of that item. However that does not preclude  
other automatic triage operations from having their way with the item.

If the change was a change to the item's date/time, then auto- 
triaging based on date/time changes should also take effect.

Apologies for not making that more clear earlier and thanks for  
catching this important use case.
