How do I view standard descriptions in a curriculum map?

By default, standards display a short description on the curriculum map. However, you can view the full description and any customized description. The standard's associated authority provides the short and full descriptions.

Note: A standard only has customized/reworded description if one was added from a curriculum map or from a tracker.
