Add dependencies to blocks
It would be great if blocks could be shown depending on "Dependencies" just like it can be done with form elements. E.g. a block is hidden until somebody clicks a link (button on the page.
It provides me the possibility to add 2 different (CRM integrated forms and show one of them depending on the choice of the visitor.
Of course it should not only work for the above-mentioned example.1 vote -
Image Version updates from the DAM should automatically be reflected on webpages when you are using Renditions
An updated "Version" of an image from the CMP/DAM is automatically reflected on a published webpage; however, if you are pulling in a "Rendition" of the image from the DAM, the updated Version is not shown. For Renditions, you have to use the Asset Picker and select the image again and then republish the webpage to see the change (new image version.
Our content authors make heavy use of Renditions and would like image version updates from the DAM to be automatically reflected on webpages, just like with original images.8 votes -
Add to folder and collection on direct library upload
When using the library as a DAM, I often find that I upload files directly into the library UI. On file upload, there's no option currently to assign those files to a folder, or to a collection. They end up in a top level folder then have to be moved into the folder where they belong. It would be very useful to be able to assign files to folders during this process, similar to how you can when pushing a file from the task level.

CMS 12 removed the fallback language in content area UI
In our solution, we have 31 different languages, and thus a lot of language fallbacks both for pages and blocks. In CMS 11, we could easily spot the blocks in a content area that were a fallback, it would be a slightly darker grey and also had the locale name it was falling back to on it. In CMS 12, this functionality disappeared. Our editors use a lot of blocks on their pages and are missing this sorely. Could you please consider readding this feature?

Adding multiple blocks under Personalization group
EPiServer.CMS version 12.22.7
When trying to add multiple blocks under one personalization group with the same visitorgroup, they can't be merged together as it is today. And when trying to do this as in the attached image, it is just the top item of the same visitorgroup that renders.
There is something that does not play well here. The correct behaviour we think should be to easely merge items with the same visitorgroup.13 votes -
Create UI Builder
Creating custom admin interfaces in Optimizely, is not standardized, so nothing looks the same. It is also too time consuming to build.
Umbraco has a really nice UI builder. It's both powerful, easy to use, and creates recognizable UIs. Optimizely should implement the same.
https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-ui-builder/
Please, no not use DDS. Use custom database tables like Umbraco UI Builder.5 votes -
Allow creation of Alerts from Application Insights
It would be useful to be able to create custom Azure Alerts from Application Insights for a DXP hosted site, but we can't due to permissions.

More efficient loading of content area items
As a developer with aims for high performance, I would like the IContentAreaLoader interface to have a batch load method, to load all content area items at once, whether from inline content, cache or database. All while keeping the internal order of the items.
If I want to load all content area items at once, using IContentLoader.GetItems, then the order of the items is not guaranteed to be kept. So I am left with enumerating the list of items, and then calling IContentAreaLoader.LoadContent for each item.
If this is done, then I would like you to also use in in…1 vote -
Expand Search array with scroll bar or add Search Results page when search returns more than 10 results
When I search for content using the Opti CMS Edit | Page | Left Panel Tree w/ Search field, I only see 10 max results. I would like for their to either be a horizontal scroll bar to view more than 10, and/or when I press Enter, the results appear on a search results page/view.
The site my team supports has hundreds of product detail pages, and they must find the product name on the front-end site before they can search for it in the Opti CMS when search results exceed 10.8 votes -
Shared Blocks no longer showing UI hint that block is "Shared"
I've noticed that blocks that are "shared" and coming from a folder no longer show that they are shared in the UI.

Preview unpublished content delivered by Content Delivery API
In the documentation it says that it is possible to enable previews of unpublished content delivered by Content Delivery API https://docs.developers.optimizely.com/content-management-system/v1.5.0-content-delivery-api/docs/customizing-content-delivery-api-for-edit-view. However the example that is provided wont work since HttpContextContextModeResolver that it uses checks for values in the current request that indicates that the request is made to the cms edit mode.
This will never be true when you are using Content Delivery API to fetch the content since the request is made to /api/episerver/v3.0/content/... and not /episerver/cms/...
In my opinion, Optimizely should have a built in way of previewing unpublished content delivered by Content Delivery API or…3 votes -
Increase help text visibility
As a Digital Marketing Manager, I've observed that CMS editors often neglect help texts. To enhance visibility and address this issue, I believe implementing an option to display these help texts immediately would significantly improve the situation.

Extend Language Manager Add On - Add/Support new languages
Hi Team
As a Customer, we want to be able to add new languages which are not currently visible or supported in EPiServer Language Manager, so that we can support our current business model as part of our long term strategic plans to migrate our current websites over to the Optimizely CMS/DXP Platform.
Currently within EPiServer CMS, we can only assign one locale per root folder per site in Optimizely which is not really a feasible thing to do. A couple examples of language cultures which are currently not supported within EPiServer Language Manager are : en-fr / en-es and…7 votes -
Preview of documents when edititing.
In the previous version there has been an icon like a globe in the top right corner of Epi's editor where you have been able to open the current page you are editing in a new window with its external link (without seeing it in the editor. That ability is gone in version 12.22.3 but was present in version 12.20.0 of the EPIserver.CMS package.
We need that to preview our documents and to get the exakt url to the webpage.5 votes -
Provide status icons for content in content area editor
When content is expired in the CMS content tree, it displays a red clock icon to indicate expired status. When editing content in "All Properties" mode references inside content areas that are expired becomes hard to spot unless explicitly switching to "On-Page Editing". Having the status icons present inside content areas would be great assistance to editors that want to work with clean content.

Add ODP segments as visitor group criteria
As an editor I would like to make up visitor groups based on customer data from ODP. Profile properties, segments etc.
I am aware of a community add-on that accomplishes this. But I believe this is something that is so important it should come from the Optimizely.3 votes -

Full Project View
Allow for a full list view of all project details, including tasks and workflow steps. It's hard to review all the work needed for a project when having to flip between each task to see the workflow steps.
Something like this:
| Task 1 | Start Date | End Date | Owner | Status |
| Step 1 | Start Date | End Date | Owner | Status |
| Step 2 | Start Date | End Date | Owner | Status |
| Task 2 | Start Date | End Date | Owner | Status |

Convert blocks
As a developer/administrator, I want to be able to convert blocks like I can convert pages so that I can merge blocks resulting in a cleanup of content and less work for our content editors.
This isn't a new feature request and has been popular on the old forum; see: https://world.optimizely.com/forum/legacy-forums/Feature-requests/Thread-Container/2014/9/Convert-Blocks/. (https://world.optimizely.com/forum/legacy-forums/Feature-requests/Thread-Container/2014/9/Convert-Blocks/
In May 2020, Tomas Hensrud Gulla did a blog post on how he took the existing Convert Pages and made his own Convert Blocks variant with relatively little effort. See https://www.gulla.net/en/blog/convert-episerver-blocks/. (https://www.gulla.net/en/blog/convert-episerver-blocks/11 votes -
Easier cleanup of unused blocks
Maintaining the number of blocks is important to editors. When using Powershell module you can get a list of blocks that are not in use so editors can maintain content on the site.
The problem is that blocks that are located in "For This Page" folders does not contain the page information in the breadcrumb (see attachment. This means that it's hard to find the folder containing this block if you want to delete the block. Extending the breadcrumb to include the owner (page of the folder "For This Page" would help the editors to know the location.4 votes
