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.11 votes -
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 -

Set a default time zone for date/time editing
Currently in the CMS, time/date pickers are associated to the editors local time. This is problematic, because we have editors all over the US. Entering in time/date information incorrectly will lead to our event registration announcements displaying the wrong time.
For example, our servers are set to Central Standard Time, so we display date/times, we need to assume they were entered in as that time zone as well, or the time will be off.
Ideally we should be able to force the date/time picker to use the same time zone as the server.10 votes -
Make Language Manager smarter - extend translate API with IContent and Property
The Translate Interface in language manager add-on (EPiServer.Labs.LanguageManager, to make translations smarter, It would be benificial to add IContent and propertyName. With that, we can get Custom Property Attributes, or other properties to understand better the context.
Change from
TranslateTextResult Translate(
string inputText,
string fromLang,
string toLang;
to
TranslateTextResult Translate(
string inputText,
CultureInfo fromLang,
CultureInfo toLang,
IContent currentContent, //or similar ContentReference
string propertyName
;
With this, we could make the translations smarter by knowing the context of the block or page. We could also read any custom attribute on the property if any.10 votesWhile we do not plan to pursue it at this time, we’re going to revisit this idea for consideration in the future. Please continue to provide feedback or additional information, and thank you for helping us build a case for pursuing this idea in future.

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.

Implement SRI attributes for injected JavaScript & Styles
The Optimizely PAAS CMS platform has multiple touchpoints where scripts are injected into the frontend UI. Examples include Optimizely Forms, Content Recommendations, Search & Navigation etc.
When these scripts are injected into the UI, they are not added with a Sub-resource Integrity attribute. An SRI check allows us to instruct the browser that it should not load a tampered version of a JS or CSS file and can protect users from man in the middle attacks. You can read more about SRI here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Subresource_Integrity
This is a commonly reported issue in penetration tests and clients are becoming increasingly more security…

As an editor, I'd like to see where my content blocks are used in the Catalog.
Currently, if we author a block within the catalog but then go to make edits to that block we often see "this block isn't used anywhere" but that is false. It would be helpful to know all the placements within the catalog.

A more competitive price for the CMS license
As a customer I want to be able to pay a price to use the product that is reasonable and competitive compared to similar products so that I can choose Episerver CMS as platform instead of alternatives like Umbraco or Wordpress.
Money I spend on license is money that I cannot spend on development of content and features which might make me choose another CMS platform.
Lowering the license price will result in you selling more licenses and maintaning your position as a leading CMS product company.9 votes -
Disable Allowed Content Types Description in CMS 12 Edit View
In CMS 12 Episerver Edit interface we noticed a new feature: above all ContentArea fields, a description appears listing allowed content types (Refer attachment).We’d like to have this removed. It seems to add more confusion than clarity for our editors. We already enforce allowed content types using the [AllowedTypes] attribute in code, so displaying the full list in the UI—especially including unrelated options like Episerver Forms elements—is unnecessary and distracting.
This description wasn’t present in CMS 11, and we would prefer to maintain that cleaner editor experience.9 votes -

Dashboard for Enterprise Headless CMS
Enterprise CMS Headless architecture: Customer Dashboard for usage and platform health.
• Greater visibility and proactive reporting on their environment usage and performance. Specifically a dashboard (or reporting capability) that shows: • Usage/consumption metrics • Traffic patterns • Response times • Proactive monitoring data to help identify issues (e.g., 404 errors) before they become support tickets • The ability for customer teams to independently access this data, rather than having to request it from OptimizelyHaving this available standard vs. a custom build. This will help Enterprise customers shift from reactive issue handling → proactive management of their Optimizely environment

API support for environment copy-back lifecycle and post-copy script execution
As a development team managing multiple lower environments, we want API/PowerShell endpoints to orchestrate the full copy-back workflow, including a mechanism to run registered post-copy maintenance scripts, so that I can automate environment refresh end-to-end without manual PaaS Portal interaction.
Currently, the copy-back workflow requires manual steps in the PaaS Portal (stop environment, copy databases/blobs from Production, start environment). After the copy, teams must anonymise PII from the copied databases to comply with GDPR before the environment can be used. This anonymisation step cannot be triggered or orchestrated through the platform.
We would like the EpiCloud module or REST API…

Quick Edit for Images
Currently, in the PaaS CMS, with Blocks, there is a Quick Edit option on the context menu when you click on a block in a content area. The opens a modal that allows the author to edit the block right there, and even publish, without having to load a whole new page in the CMS. This is nice because it allows for much quicker editing.
We sometimes have cases where a project wants to store a lot of information with each image. More than just a title and copyright. They would like to be able to use Quick Edit on…

Quick edit blocks inside TinyMCE
