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 -
On-page comparison tool improvement
When comparing a submitted version of a page to the published version of a page, it would be helpful to have an indication of what content has been added, edited, or deleted. Currently we need to eyeball it to see what the submitter has changed and I'm sure edits are being missed. If we only had to check the places that were changed, it would streamline the process and lower the amount of time spent on each page.

Feature to export memory dump
Hi Team,
In the PAAS portal, we can download database, and logs for any environment. Similarly, can we have an option to download memory dump with time range selection for any environment?
Most of the time, the cause of timeout, and other unknown errors is custom code or data. It's useful for the customer for their initial investigation of such issues.
I can see a similar tool is developed by the Optimizely team and it is compatible with IIS but not with the DXP environment ( Linux https://github.com/episerver/DeveloperTools/tree/master
Can you please check the possibility?5 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.

Please, no not use DDS. Use custom database tables like Umbraco UI Builder.5 votes -

We can use the maintenancepage,htm during deployments but they require a custom page for pure restarts as well.This custom error page feature in Azure provides what they need but its not currently supported by Optimizely DXP.

Computed readonly field for a content type
A way to define a property or a method within a given content type having the following characteristics:
- It is a computed property: the value will be determined by querying other related database tables
- The property will be displayed as read-only / disabled on the Optimizely dashboard / edit content typeThe next approach does not display the property in Optimizely Admin UI
[Display( Name = "Total Price", Order = 130, GroupName = GroupNames.Plm)] public virtual decimal TotalPrice => Items?.Sum(i => i.Quantity * i.UnitPrice) ?? 0;This happened because it looks like content graph, SearchText, and GetSearchableProperties() in…

Copy content items without including child content.
As an Optimizely administrator, I would like to provide a way for our content authors to copy single content items without copying their child pages or blocks. This would prevent a lot of items from being copied by accident which clutters up the site and search results until they are deleted.

Support for Trash Status Filtering via exposing _deleted property in query filters to improve duplicate result handling
We have use cases where we need to search content to determine if an item is in the Trash. Currently, we use the cg-include-deleted: true header as described in the documentation. However, we have observed that duplicate results are returned from the Graph for Content() items.
One result represents the original location (tombstone marker) with the property _deleted: null, while the most recent version in the index has _deleted: true.
Although we can filter out duplicates on the client side, this approach is not ideal.
We would like the _deleted property to be available as part of ContentWhereInput so that…4 votes -
Shared Blocks no longer showing UI hint that block is "Shared"

Improve UI for a better editing experience on language settings and similar popups
While the updated CMS area in Optimizely 12 has improved in many ways, some parts of the UI have been changed in a way that makes editing more difficult.
One such area is the language settings, where previously only languages that had settings associated with them were displayed. It was not until editing the settings that all languages were displayed. The UI is also more spacious now in general, with more padding and larger font sizes, which leads to less items visible at one time.
Furthermore, the popup is too narrow to display all columns when more than 4-5 languages…4 votes -
CMS Editor - Allowed Types - Restriction Info
In the CMS Editor, when a content area has AllowedTypes specified, it always lists types that are not allowed in the hint text. However, the list that's not allowed is not complete.
We expect the only the types that are allowed to be listed.
Example
[AllowedTypes(typeof(CustomDataAttributeBlock]
public virtual ContentArea? GAAttributes { get; set; }
CMS Editor shows:
Only Custom Attribute Block types, but not Form elements, Form step, Rich text (with placeholders, or Form Location URL.
Expected:
Only Custom Attribute Block types4 votes -
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?

Bring back Smart Publish
Please put Smart Publish back in the Publish menu. It disappeared in the move to CMS 12 and the only thing my team can find that's even close is to the same functionality is to:
1. Create a new Project.
2. Make any changes in the new project.
3. Hit Overview.
4. Publish Items from Overview .
Not only is that not intuitive at all, but it's significantly more work (especially if you forget and make a bunch of changes in the Primary Draft, because then you have to redo them in the new Project.4 votes -
Automatic tracking of page redirects
When moving a page in the page hierarchy or changing the url slug the CMS should give me the option to add a redirect record that could be used to issue an appropriate redirect from the frontend.
Redirect records should be queryable from Optimizely Graph similar to pages and experiences so that my frontend code can easily detect when to return a redirect and where to.4 votes -

Custom reports in CMS
They would like to see reports for pages where they have a lot of content to list the blocks and then pieces of information specific fields.
Custom reporting functionality needed for content inventory management
- Create reports by picking block/page template and selecting specific fields
- Current process requires developer/agency hours for custom reports
- Want ad hoc reporting: “insights report with just title, URL, publish date, authors”. or professionals reports with name, bio, etc.
- Would free up agency hours for higher-value work

Support for Including File Attachments in Optimizely Forms Submission Emails
By default, Optimizely Forms do not send uploaded files as attachments in submission emails. Instead, the system provides links to the files stored in the Optimizely asset library. These links are only accessible to CMS-authenticated users, which limits their usability for external recipients.
Custom Enhancement Possibility:
It is currently possible to customize the SendEmailAfterSubmissionActor to include file attachments, as demonstrated in this community blog post: https://world.optimizely.com/blogs/kennyg/dates/2025/8/sending-email-with-attachments-with-optimizely-forms-in-2025/However, as stated in this blog post, this requires duplicating built-in logic, since SendEmailAfterSubmissionActor does not expose an integration point that allows developers to hook in and add attachments to the message.
Proposed Improvement:…
