The Path of an IdeaNot Currently on our Roadmap The idea sounds great! We'll leave it open, and our product managers will re-visit it as our roadmap evolves. Let’s Bake it Further Further exploration is needed, we’d like to hear more comments and elaboration from our clients.
ClosedA Closed idea has one of two meanings:1) Not a product idea; some of common reasons for closing an idea is that the idea is actually a support ticket, service suggestion, etc.2) Something we would not be considering for our product roadmap.
The Path of an IdeaIn Planning The D2L team is defining the solution in detail, how to build it, who will build it, and when it will be built. Please keep in mind that our plans may change and this idea may be moved back into Not Currently on the Roadmap or Let’s Bake it Further categories. In Development The D2L Product Development teams are actively working on a solution.
Released A Released idea has one of two meanings: 1) A solution has been implemented in an upcoming version of the software. 2) A solution was previously implemented and is already available in the product.
