Tracking Idea Progress

1. To stay updated on the status of your favorite ideas, click the "Subscribe" button on the idea post page. You'll receive notifications whenever there are updates, such as changes in status or new comments.

2. Monitor the "Idea Status" section to see which ideas have been implemented or are under consideration.

Note: Ideas are weighted using a number of parameters including number of votes, impact, reach, and alignment with strategic vision and roadmap. It’s never a straight route from Idea submission to implementation, however, once we have accepted an idea in the product backlog, we will make an effort to ensure that the status on the idea reflects the current status of the feature. We aim to give as much transparency as possible with idea statuses so that you have insight into ideas that have been reviewed and/or delivered.
