Immutable Backups
Immutable Backups are increasingly becoming cybersecurity and resilience best practice.
Currently CMS PaaS data is not covered by immutable backups. To further protect us against ransomware attacks and accidental or malicious data tampering having this as a standard or at least optional feature would be highly desirable, providing a reliable last line of defense for fast and trustworthy recovery after a cyber incident or operational failure.
Any update on timeline for its availability would be very much appreciated.20 votes -
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…

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

Media Publishing Confusion
Media Publishing Confusion: Contributors often forget to publish or submit new/updated media (e.g., PDFs, images) for review, as the system does not prompt them, resulting in drafts being left unapproved.

Versioning Limitations: Updates to blocks (even within a page) do not trigger version updates or review requirements for the parent pgge, ma
Page‑level updates are not reflected in version history:
When a block on a page is updated, the page‑level version history does not show the recent change. Instead, version history is tracked only at the block level, not for the page as a whole. As a result, it can appear that a page has not been updated even when changes have been made.For example the Child Health Policy Accelerator | SickKids page was updated couple of days ago, but the last update details are showing of October 2025.

Reviewers lack visibility into where blocks and media objects are used across the site, unless someone published the landing page/parent block where the block is supposed to be placed. This lead to time-consuming searches and uncertainty during approval.

Warning of a duplicate asset when saving from a task to the DAM
Upon uploading to a task there is no indication on whether or not content is a duplicate of what exists in the DAM. If it can not be indicated upon import, then can a warning implemented when attempting to save a duplicate to the DAM?

select content
As a content editor,
I want to search for existing blocks within the “Select Content” shortcut window, so that I can quickly find and reuse the required content without manually browsing through multiple options.Background / Problem Statement:
Currently, when creating a new block in Optimizely CMS, users are presented with two options:
Create a new block
Select contentWhen selecting “Select Content”, a shortcut window opens displaying available blocks. However, this window lacks a search functionality, making it difficult and time-consuming to locate specific content, especially when the number of blocks is large.

UI Change to Distinguish Prod from Preprod and Int
I've been burned a few times by publishing content on the wrong environment, e.g. publishing a change in a test page on Integration only to learn I was actually on Production. Woops!
And it's not just me. I know of times our clients have done this, and other members of our team.
Can I suggest some sort of UI indicator (other than just the URL) to indicate which environment you're on?
- Maybe you could output the name of the environment in the header?
- Maybe you could you update the 'Publish Changes' button to read 'Publish Changes to {ENVIRONMENT}'?

Dynamic Scaling in DXP - improve performance and reduce costs
The default hardware SKU for Optimizely is P1V3. P1V3 only has 2 cores and P2V3 has 4 cores. Because the number of cores available to the system dictates the number of default threads the system attempt to regulate, it would be best to deviate away from our current default hardware SKU, P1V3 to P2V3, instead. However, doing so would increase costs which we do not want to do necessarily. This is a proposal to decrease costs while simultaneously increasing hardware resources during peak hours.
The idea is to increase a customer's lower environment hardware to P2V3 during "working hours" (to…

We want to be able to deploy ‘Google Tag Gateway’ in Cloudflare which is not currently supported in DXP. This gets the Google tags to appear as first-party. The tag setup in GTM is otherwise the same and it should still obey the OneTrust cookie consent.

Support Newer .NET WebApplicationBuilder
I would like to use the newer WebApplicationBuilder / IHostApplicationBuilder introduced in .NET 6 to initialize the CMS instead of the .NET Core 3 method of using IHostBuilder, because .NET Aspire does not support IHostBuilder. The ConfigureCmsDefaults method does not support WebApplicationBuilder, and even though the following code will compile, the CMS is not usable:
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
builder.Host.ConfigureCmsDefaults();4 votes -
Editor Content Health Dashboard : A personalized, self-service governance view for every content editor in the CMS
As a content editor, I want to see a personalized dashboard when I log in to the CMS that shows me only the content I own that needs attention, so that I can find and fix issues myself, without waiting for someone else to tell me about them.
This dashboard replaces the generic default view in the CMS for all content editors. It does not replace any existing admin tools or reports. The intent is to move content governance from a reactive, admin-led activity into a proactive, editor-led habit. The dashboard is the trigger for that behavioural shift. This is…

IP Address restriction in Cloudflare
It would be great if we could configure an IP Address whitelist in Cloudflare so that we only allow a specific set of source IP Addresses to be allowed to access our DXP instances. This will allow us to block public access to non-production environments

Access restricted for Specific user with expert import
We need to configure roles in Optimizely to grant specific users permission to use the Import and Export functionality.
Access must be restricted based on the users’ assigned business units. For example, if a user is assigned access only to Asteco, they should be able to perform import and export activities strictly within the business units (e.g., Asteco and Pactive) aligned with their permissions.
Users must not have visibility of or access to any other projects beyond their assigned business units.

Application Insights - be able to sample or filter logged data
As a customer and implementation partner using DXP I would like either:
- a built-in tool somewhere, in the DXP portal, optimizely or Azure, to be able to filter out unwanted third party dependencies from being logged to the DXP Application Insights,
or
- the permissions to add our own sampling in Application Insights.
Optimizely DXP injects Application Insights (via required headers) and we cannot opt out of that. We don't have any way to sample the data logged to that Application Insights instance.
We get alerts about "DXC - Production Application Insight Daily cap reached" on logged data that is mainly…

Visual Builder: When changing style settings or property values in the outline panel, the left preview panel always refreshes
CMS SaaS: I have just converted my project from using @remkoj/optimizely-cms-nextjs to @optimizely/cms-sdk, but the live preview sync for style settings and property value updates is not as smooth as with @remkoj/optimizely-cms-nextjs.
Previously, my project worked very smoothly in Visual Builder mode. It only updated the element I changed and did not refresh the entire iframe.
However, after switching to @optimizely/cms-sdk, whenever I update anything, it always refreshes the preview iframe, resulting in a very poor user experience.
Is this expected behavior, or am I missing something?CMS 13: We’re seeing the same full iframe refresh issue on Optimizely CMS…

Add .NET Counter publication to App Insights on Startup
There are a whole suite of .NET counters available to use to publish to App Insights. This is a low-lift modification that enables us to gain many insights, directly inside of App Insights Metrics, we can utilize to diagnose issues on customers.
This enables us to do performance investigations that otherwise require manual intervention (such as downloading .ETL files and opening them in PerfView or capturing dump files and analyzing them).
We can skip these manual steps and jump write to "close to root causes" by publishing this information. There is little cost and no significant performance degradation associated with…
