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…

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}'?

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.

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 -
CMS Page Previews
When previewing unpublished pages in the CMS, nested blocks (such as unpublished child blocks within a parent block) do not display correctly at the page level, making it impossible for publishers to see the full layout and content as it will appear when published. This limitation forces the team to rely on the Advanced Review plugin, which does show all nested unpublished content but introduces extra steps and performance issues.

add button ID property
Analytics requires us to differentiate between different CTA buttons on a page that may go to the same destination (e.g. event "register today"). Please ad a button-ID property in the standard link interface (page, external link, media, remaining URL, etc.) We cannot use UTM-like properties as that breaks tracking within a current session. This is very standard in other CMSs.

Irritating double load when clicking menu in OPE mode
Our editors often use the sites menu in the OPE mode to switch pages and the menu is built so it uses the editmode link in OPE mode and the normal link in view mode to accomodate this.
When clicking a menu item in episerver 11, the page is loaded more or less at once, but in episerver 12 the page is first loaded in view mode and then reloaded in edit mode. This happens with all the links in the menu.
The editors find this very irritating. We haven't been able to figure out why that happens.

Copied pages to be Draft rather than Published by default
Global Digital Marketing Director.
When I copy and paste a page in the tree its status is always published or maybe it is the same of the page it is being copied from. I want to make the status of that page unpublished by default and then publish is manually later on, without requiring additional development work.
There have been other threads about this in the past eg https://world.optimizely.com/forum/developer-forum/CMS/Thread-Container/2018/5/copy-and-pasted-pages-always-have-published-status/

A true unpublish option or the ability to schedule the end of expiration
A true unpublish option would be a huge asset to the CMS. If that's not possible (or at least not possible soon, then the ability to schedule an end to expiration should work.
It might sound like a small thing, but being able to unpublish and then schedule for republishing can be the difference between a couple of clicks and rebuilding an entire page (or pages, if you're very unlucky. In the current system, if something needs to be pulled off the site you have to expire it. But if you want to put it back up at a specific…83 votes -
Search on Product Title/Name and get partial found list as we type, when using Shop
I'm a developer and my users are requesting a CMS enhancement that allows them to use the 'Find Product' to ....
give a partial found list of values as you type

Currently we are only able to have the product search under the Shop section successfully return results when the full product ID is entered. Searching by product title doesn’t work, even when using the full title or keywords. The author must enter the full SKU or Product ID to get the product. Searching with keywords or part of the SKU won’t…

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.

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…
5 votesGetting such a property to show up in the UI is tricky since the calculation is located in the typed C# model, and the UI operates on a generic database model. Also, adding support for calculated properties in the properties would always come with a lot of constraints as only calculations the CMS are aware of could be handled, and you might need to use data from a third-party service to complete it.
I have reached out to engineering regarding your question about Graph/S&N indexing.
