    Right now inboxes appear restricted to "show me anything in current state for current user" or "show me any object in current state for any user". It would be nice to have an option to define around an inbox one or more users other than the current user...

    In Draft Space, text enclosed in the rev attribute appears in gray highlighting; however, no highlighting appears in Review Space. Our end users would like the highlighting to also appear in Review Space.

    Proposed changes for Publication Manager > Publish Report and Release Report tabs: It would help to visually distinguish errors within the Publish Reports list. It’s a small thing, but it is easier to discuss troubleshooting with writers if the issues...

    • 0 Comments
    In some scenarios, it can be difficult or tedious to find an item's GUID given its item ID, or vice versa. For instance, if I am browsing a publication in the Docs DXA website, I can easily get a topic's ID from the URL. But from there, if I want to find...

    Proposed changes for Publication Manager (general): Depending on how style sheets are coded, there are certain conflicts caused by conditionalization that can cause publication failures. It would be nice if Publication Manager would check for these...
