How it works
How the voting board works
Your team adds each request to the board with a title, an optional description and a status. The public board, at its own link, shows them as a roadmap in four columns, Planned, In progress, Live and Rejected, with each column ranked by votes.
Anyone with the link can upvote without creating an account, and can take the vote back. Votes are counted once per browser. Voting closes on requests you mark as rejected, so the board stays honest about what is not coming.
Share the link wherever your users already are: the changelog, the help center, or the reply to a support ticket that asked for the feature. Or put the board on your own page with the two-line embed snippet from the dashboard, a div and a script tag; it sizes itself to fit.
By design
What the board deliberately does not do
Visitors vote; your team writes the requests
Visitors cannot post new ideas on the board. Collect them with a feedback widget, form or survey, merge the duplicates, and add the ones worth a vote. Fifteen clear requests get more useful votes than three hundred near-copies.
Votes are a count, not a customer list
Voters do not sign in, so a vote is counted per browser, not tied to an account. Read the totals as a demand signal, and check the feedback behind a request before committing a quarter to it.
No comment threads
The board collects votes, not discussions. Ask follow-up questions with a survey, or reply in the help desk, where the conversation stays attached to the person who asked.

Running it
Running a feature voting board well
- Seed it before you share it. Ten to fifteen requests is enough. An empty board gets no votes.
- Write requests as outcomes. “Bulk-edit invoices” gets clearer votes than “Better invoicing”.
- Move statuses promptly. A request that sits in Planned for six months tells voters the board is decoration.
- Say no in public. Marking a request Rejected, with the reason in its description, earns more trust than leaving it at the bottom of the list.
- Close the loop when it ships. Move it to Live and tell users inside the product with an in-app announcement.

FAQ
Questions teams ask before switching
What is a feature voting board?
A feature voting board lists feature requests and lets users upvote them, so product teams can see demand and prioritize the roadmap.
Who can vote?
Anyone with the board link can upvote without signing in. Votes are counted once per browser, and your team decides which requests appear.
Can I share a public roadmap?
Yes. The public board is a roadmap: requests are grouped by status (Planned, In progress, Live and Rejected) and ranked by votes, so users can see what you’re building next.
FAQ
Feature voting board questions
Can users submit their own feature requests?
Not on the board itself. Visitors upvote the requests your team has added. Collect new ideas with a feedback widget, form or survey, then add the ones worth voting on.
Which statuses can a request have?
Planned, In progress, Complete (shown as Live on the public board) and Rejected. Voting closes on rejected requests.
Can I embed the voting board on my website?
Yes. Paste the snippet from the dashboard, a div and one script tag, into any page and the live board appears there, resized to its content. Votes cast on your site count on the same board.
Is the feature voting board included in the free plan?
Yes. Every plan includes voting boards: the Free plan has one, and paid plans have more.
