    The ability to keep comments private, either as notes to oneself or until the comments are completed, is a good feature in the Draft and Review spaces, but we are clearly seeing users who either forget to share or are unaware that they need to share in...

    Although it is part of the process for writers to check the baseline and look for "Yes" in the Newer version column, not everyone remembers to do this, especially when rushing to publish. It would be nice to have a message display when you open a publication...

    It is quite necessary to have an ability not to easily send an object into a recycle bin, or something similar, to retrieve data that was accidentally deleted could be very troublesome. Right now, if we delete an object that is not connected to any...

    Publication Manager should have an xref tab that would attempt to resolve xrefs in a publication. The xrefs tab would be similar to the Variables tab, and it should show broken xrefs while a publication is being constructed, just like the variables tab...

    • 5 Comments
    When searching the CMS for potentially-reusable topics, it would be great to be able to filter by topic type (such as concept or reference). I don't see this capability in SDL Publication Manager 12.0.4. Searching for certain words, even when searching...
