About the Feature Requests Category
A space to collect, discuss, and vote on feature ideas or improvements to the Open edX platform. The most popular ideas may be turned into product proposals, increasing their chances of being built.
If there’s something that slows you down, creates friction for your team, or makes learning more difficult for your students, this is the place to share it. Or maybe you have an idea for a completely new feature—post it here and draw on the Community’s input to help shape and strengthen it.
