Public Suggestions Board

Share a public link to your project’s suggestions board so players can browse, vote on, and comment on ideas — without needing to be a project member. The Public Suggestions Board gives your community a clean view of what’s been suggested, what’s planned, and what’s been shipped.

This is useful when you want to:

  • Let players see what features are planned or in progress
  • Build a public roadmap that updates automatically
  • Gather community votes to help prioritize features
  • Reduce duplicate suggestions by making existing ones visible

Enabling the Board

  1. Open your project and go to the Suggestions page
  2. Click Quick Actions in the top-right corner
  3. Select Enable Public Suggestions Board

A unique shareable URL is generated. You can copy the link and configure the board from the Settings → Suggestions page.

You can also access board settings through Quick Actions → Public Suggestions Board → Settings on the Suggestions page.

Open the Settings → Suggestions page — the shareable URL is displayed at the top of the Public Suggestions Board section. Click Copy to copy it to your clipboard.

Anyone with this link can browse the board. Voting, commenting, and submitting new suggestions require signing in.

Tip: Share the link on your Discord server, Steam page, or community forum. It works great as a “feature roadmap” link.

Choosing a Layout

The board supports two layout modes. You can switch between them on the Settings → Suggestions page.

Flat Layout (Default)

A single scrollable list of all publicly visible suggestions, sorted by vote count. Filter tabs at the top let visitors narrow the list:

  • Top — All suggestions, most popular first
  • Under Review — New ideas being considered
  • Planned — Accepted for the roadmap
  • In Progress — Currently being built
  • Complete — Shipped

You can hide the filter tabs by toggling Show filter tabs off in the board settings. This is useful if you want a simpler view without status filtering.

Columns Layout

A four-column roadmap view that groups suggestions by status:

Column Includes
Under Review Open and Under Review suggestions
Planned Planned suggestions
In Progress Started suggestions
Complete Completed suggestions

Each column shows up to 10 suggestions (sorted by votes). If a column has more, a View all link at the bottom switches to the flat layout filtered to that status group.

The columns layout works well as a public-facing product roadmap — visitors can quickly see what’s being considered, what’s committed, and what’s shipped.

Note: On mobile devices (below 992px wide), columns automatically stack vertically for readability.

What Visitors See

Suggestion Cards

Each suggestion is displayed as a compact card showing:

  • Vote count — How many votes the suggestion has received
  • Title — The suggestion title (clicking opens the detail page)
  • Tag — The primary tag assigned to the suggestion
  • Time — When the suggestion was submitted

In the columns layout, each card also has a colored accent stripe on the left edge matching its status (grey for Under Review, amber for Planned, blue for In Progress, green for Complete).

Voting

Visitors can click the upvote area on any card. If they aren’t signed in, they’ll be prompted to sign in first. After signing in, they can vote from the suggestion detail page.

Suggestion Detail Page

Clicking a suggestion opens its detail page, which shows:

  • Full title and description
  • Vote count and upvote button
  • Status, author, and date
  • Tags
  • Public comments (private comments are never shown)
  • A sign-in prompt for commenting

A back link at the top returns to the board listing.

Declined Suggestions

In the columns layout, declined suggestions do not appear in any column (the four columns only cover Under Review, Planned, In Progress, and Complete). In the flat layout, declined suggestions are visible in the Top tab (which shows all publicly visible suggestions) but are excluded from the status filter tabs. They remain visible to project members on the authenticated Suggestions page regardless of layout.

If you need to invalidate the current URL (for example, if it was shared with the wrong audience):

  1. Open the Settings → Suggestions page
  2. Click Regenerate Link and confirm

This creates a new URL. The old link stops working immediately. Any existing shares (bookmarks, Discord messages, forum posts) will show “Not Found.”

Note: If you also have the legacy public suggestions URL enabled, regenerating the tokenized link does not affect the legacy URL. They are independent.

Disabling the Board

To disable the public suggestions board:

  1. Go to Quick Actions → Public Suggestions Board → Disable on the Suggestions page, or click Disable Public Board on the Settings → Suggestions page
  2. Confirm the action

Disabling the board immediately revokes the link. If you re-enable it later, a new URL is generated.
