Microsoft Tech Community Ideas - What Happened?

We have decided to archive all ideas from the classic platform, except those that have a clear parallel in Aurora. This decision was made not to disregard the excellent ideas submitted (over 800 since launch), but because the Aurora UI introduces new UI/UX experiences, making it quite challenging to review every idea and determine its current relevance.

Some ideas, such as the request for an app for the Office Network (now called Microsoft Tech Community), still resonate today. Therefore, we have reinstated these ideas on the new Ideas board, along with their original comments and votes. Unfortunately, due to a bug, these ideas have lost their 'status,' but we will address this issue shortly.

If your idea is still relevant today and has not been transferred, please accept my apologies and comment below. We still have all the ideas and are happy to resurrect any that we may have missed.

Starting with a new Ideas board allows us to update all statuses and tags to better reflect the current community and the way we structure and prioritise user feedback with the Aurora UI.

Additionally, we will soon launch a new 'Updates & Roadmap' segment, which will cover all updates, bug fixes, and, where appropriate, reference community-reported bugs that have been resolved. We aim to be as transparent as possible and give kudos to the many members who offer their feedback and ideas to help improve the community.

Thank you,

Allen
