In this article: Ideas Forum - Share ideas and offer support
The Ideas Forum is an open space for partners to share ideas and offer support for other partner ideas. We welcome suggestions to enhance existing program documentation and tools, new resources and features, or deployment experiences with Microsoft products.
Vague ideas are hard to act on, please provide as much detail as possible, especially links or screenshots of what issue your idea seeks to address.
Important! Before submitting a new idea, in the What are you looking for? tool, search for the topic you have an idea for to see if it has already been submitted. Use the navigation tools at the bottom of the page to scroll through all suggestions.
Example: You wish to submit an idea regarding reporting, type Reporting into Search tool. All blogs, Idea suggestions, and knowledge articles that refer to Reporting will be displayed.
Browse and Submit Ideas
Review the articles, listed in the left navigation, Status or Forum categories. Existing articles are displayed on the page.
If the idea that you wish to suggest is found, click on the upvote button. This notifies the team that an additional partner has the same or similar idea and helps inform where there are gaps in resources.
Partners can use the Status, Forum, and Program navigation tools to refine search or to read other suggestions.

In the generated form, Submit an Idea. The following information is requested:
