How to give feedback and get updates

This backlog exists because you asked. Keep it coming — it’s how we decide what’s next.

Every item earned its place because enough of you asked for it. We’ll keep this page current as features ship. This list covers the most-requested items from post-migration feedback, but it isn't the entirety of our development work. If something you rely on still isn’t here — please tell us. The same way you shaped this list, you can shape what comes next.
