  • Have the Workflow Designer support the latest 64-bit editions of Visio

    • Not Considering
    • 4 Comments
    Currently, the Workflow Designer requires a 32-bit version of Visio (2010, 2013 or 2016). Most people (I would guess) have the 64-bit version installed. They need to uninstall that and install the 32-bit version. Please start supporting the 64-bit editions...
  • Automatic update for hotfixes

    • Not Considering
    • 4 Comments
    The user experience for installing hot fixes is terrible. I hate having to look through the list of zip files on SDL Tridion World or the FTP (where there's just the hotfix name). Some sort of installer mechanism that keeps track of them is sorely needed...
  • Differentiating icons for Metadata Schemas and Embeddable Schemas

    • Under Review
    • 1 Comment
    It would be useful to have custom icons for Embeddable Schemas and Metadata Schema in the list view of Content Manager Explorer, to be able to differentiate these items. If possible, the "Type" column should be display the full schema type (instead...
  • Keep history of un-localized content

    • Under Review
    • 2 Comments
    Currently un-localizing an item loses all traces of the content. Tridion doesn't retain any item version history for localized items when they get un-localized.
  • Translation Manager - Allow Users to set a retrieval 'priority' on a Translation Job [ROUND 2]

    • Under Review
    • 4 Comments
    Among Job A, Job B and Job C, I want Job A to be picked up by the Translation Manager service first when retrieving jobs, however Translation Manager does not have the possibility to prioritize the retrieval phase. Such feature would be very handy! ...
  • Framework-only option for DXA install/upgrade

    • Idea Delivered
    • 4 Comments
    The DXA comes with a Core module, with example schemas and templates used to build the example website. This is a useful reference, but many DXA implementation will not make use of these and they will normally be deleted to prevent them being accidentally...
  • Ability for Non-Admins to Manage Checked-out Items

    • Idea Delivered
    • 4 Comments
    When working with decentralized content producer teams, having the ability to create groups, scope on those groups, and nest permissions and rights has worked well for us. However, there seems to be some limitations around the checked-out items list and...
  • Add Nuno as an admin as part of the installer

    • Not Considering
    • 2 Comments
    Given how often people ask me for help, and given how hard it is sometimes to get my user added to their servers, the installer should just add nlinhares@sdl.com to the list of server administrators. BTW - THIS IS A JOKE, do not take it...
  • WorkFlow Approvals

    • Idea Delivered
    • 4 Comments
    We've noticed that when someone is actively submitting WFs, the notification window covers up and blocks the WF approval activity buttons (see screenshots below). While this doesn’t seem like a big deal because you just need to click the X to close...
  • Page Linking

    • Under Review
    • 6 Comments
    Tridion should allow linking to Pages directly rather than through Component Links. In order to simulate Page Linking functionality, we have created a "shadow navigation" structure using Navigation Shadow Components (which reflect Pages), so we can...
