Best Practices

- We encourage you to vote! Voting allows the Forums team to know what users want the most
- Use Questions and not Discussion thread types, this will allow us to “close” suggestions once they are no longer relevant or have been addressed.
Who reads these suggestions?

We will not implement every suggestion, however, we release once a month and commit to consider suggestions from the community every release.
