During the closed beta period, you may encounter missing functionality or unexpected behavior. While we aim to provide a seamless experience, some bugs may slip through. Your feedback is crucial in helping us identify and resolve these issues before the feature’s general release.
Below, we’ve outlined FAQs—please review these before sharing your feedback.
We’ll also send out surveys and invitations for feedback sessions. While participation is optional, your input is highly valued and will help us shape the final product. The functionality may evolve quickly during the beta as we adjust before launch.
We appreciate your time and feedback throughout this beta period—your input helps us deliver the best experience possible!

Permissions Updates
We’ve introduced new permission levels to accommodate suggestions without granting full editing rights. If you want certain roles to suggest changes without editing access, update their permission accordingly.
The updated permissions are:
- Can edit: Edit content, suggest changes, and leave comments.
- Can suggest: View content, suggest changes, and leave comments.
- Can comment: View content, respond to suggestions, and leave comments.
- Can view: View content, including suggestions and comments.
Using the Suggesting Mode
This feature will feel intuitive if you're familiar with “track changes” in word processing tools.
- To start suggesting, open an item and enable “Suggesting” mode from the header.
- This mode tracks all text changes, including additions, deletions, and formatting (e.g., bold or italic).
- Each suggestion will have a conversation thread where team members can accept, reject, or comment on the changes.
Note
During the beta, only text-based suggestions are supported. Tracking for other content types, such as inline images, will be available in future updates.
Managing Suggestions
The ability to accept or reject a suggestion depends on who created it and the respondent's permissions. Actions you don't have permission for won't appear. For example, users need edit or suggestion rights to see the accept or reject buttons.
If You Made the Suggestion
- Can edit: You can accept or reject your suggestions.
- Can suggest: You cannot accept your suggestions but reject them if needed.
If Someone Else Made the Suggestion
- Can edit: You can accept or reject the suggestion.
- Can suggest: You cannot accept or reject others’ suggestions.
Read-only mode
Suggestions cannot be made on read-only items. However, existing suggestions remain visible, and users with the appropriate permissions can reject them but not accept them since editing rights are required for acceptance.
FAQ
Can I opt out of this beta?
Please contact our support team if you wish to opt out of the beta.
Will I receive any In-App or Email notifications when a suggestion is made?
You won’t receive notifications related to suggestions via email or in-app.
Can I view suggested changes in the history?
You can view the suggested changes in an item or field's history. If you restore content to an item or field, the history of suggestions will also be visible. Once the content is approved, the suggested changes will be removed from history.
Can I view the comment history?
No, at this time, you cannot yet see the comment history.
Can I limit a shared item just to suggestions?
Currently, you cannot restrict a shared item to suggesting changes only. However, we are working on adding that functionality to the feature to make it easier to toggle between edit and suggested changes modes.
