General Feedback

How can we make the UserVoice platform better?

I suggest you…

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the “My feedback” filter and select “My open ideas”.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

    1. Change the order of Articles in Knowledge Base

      It'd be great if I could re-arrange the order of the articles in the Knowledge Base.

        Hi everyone, we’re currently working on this and I’d like to hear what you think about one of the approaches we’re considering:
        To let you control which articles show on your Knowledge Base page (currently 5 per topic), instead of ordering all your articles we’re considering giving you an option to simply mark articles as “sticky”. Those sticky articles would then show at the top, followed by the rest of articles in the topic. Sticky articles would most likely be sorted in the order of sticky assignment. Thoughts?

      • Multi language Knowledge Base

        Anyone who provide a service in multi language needs to have a multi language Knowledge Base.

        Today Uservoice offers you the ability to have KB in a plenty of languages. But you can only choose ONE language.

        I provide a service in Brazilian Portuguese and English. I want to have a Knowledge base in english and another one in Brazilian Portuguese.

        I build my own KB with this multilanguage feature in just a week: support.flashping.com and suporte.flashping.com

        But this do not compares with having this feature built-in uservoice.

        If you have a multilanguage website, vote on this.

          • Attach files to Knowledge Base Articles

            We currently have all of our documentation in the form of PDFs. It would be a huge PLUS if we could attach files (other than CSVs) to Knowledge Base articles.

              Some articles are closely related to other articles. I would like to be able to link from one to the other wiki-style.

                • Add the possibility to have helpdesk available in differetn language

                  Hi !

                  If you have different communities, it would be great to add language support for helpdesk.

                  So I can create a topic 'Library' which could be translated to 'Bibliothèque' in French.

                  So french users will arrive to the french helpdesk and english users to the English helpdesk.

                  Right now I can't have 2 helpdesks in separate languages right ?

                  • Allow knowledge bases in different languages

                    To really be able to satisfy all our customers that come from the whole world we also have to answer their support request in different languages. Right now all the resulting articles in the different languages just end up in the same big messy knowledge base, which is really confusing to our customers.

                    So here's our proposition: enable adding articles to different, freely choosable knowledge bases

                        • Host embedded images within Uservoice

                          It seems silly that I have to use an external service to host my images when I want to embed them in a knowledge base article. It's a whole extra step that I have to train my customer support reps to do in order to create articles. I'm also worried about having broken links if any of these services, for whatever reason, take down my photos. That would have a material effect on my customers' support experience.

                          Tenderapp has a really great solution for this. I'm puzzled that this doesn't already exist here.

                          • Add "Share" button in Knowledge Base article

                            Knowledge Base articles should have a "Share" button (on Facebook, Twitter, etc).

                            So if I read an article and find it useful I can share it with my people and contribute to product visibility, awareness, etc.

                                  • Allow timed release date of articles and article updates

                                    I would like to be able to control the release date of articles (to coincide with our product release updates).

                                    This is particularly important when updating existing articles. People may still be using these, but I need to get the articles updated so when we release, the documentation is up-to-date.

                                    In many cases, I have links (for cross-references) from within an article to another, so copy article/make new unpublished article/then publish upon release date and delete old article is not reasonable. Neither is editing in another tool and pasting in, since the formatting needs to be cleaned and done all… more

                                      When creating a new help desk article UserVoice should automatically save every 10 or 20 seconds so admins don't loose any work if something goes wrong!

                                        • KB articles should be unique per forum

                                          Currently, KB articles are global; however, forums are often used for different products and different products will normally have different KB articles. So, KB articles should really be per forum instead of global.

                                          • Have multiple titles per article

                                            There are many cases where more than one title worded completely different can point to the same solution. Why can't we have more than one title per article? Or even tag support so they show up in search?
