Vote on feedback

Show your support for feedback you care about by voting.

How votes work

Each user gets one vote per post. Votes help the team:

  • Prioritize popular requests
  • Understand user demand
  • Make data-driven decisions

Vote without an account

You can vote without signing in when two things line up: your workspace allows anonymous interaction, and the board's Vote permission allows it. When both apply, click the vote button on any post and your vote is counted immediately - no account required.

Some boards require sign-in to vote (or restrict voting to specific groups or team members) even when your workspace allows anonymous interaction. Voting is set per board, separate from who can view.

Your votes are tracked per browser session. If you clear your cookies, your anonymous votes can't be recovered.

If you sign up for an account later, your anonymous votes carry over automatically. You won't lose any votes you've already cast.

When a board requires sign-in to vote

Each board independently sets who can vote - Anyone, Signed-in users, specific audience Segments, or Team only - and this is separate from who can view the board. So a board you can read may still require sign-in to vote.

If you can't vote, you'll see a message explaining why:

  • "Sign in to vote on this board"
  • "Only specific groups can vote on this board"
  • "Only team members can vote on this board"

Find posts to vote on

Sort by Votes

Use the sort dropdown to find:

  • Top - Most voted posts overall
  • Trending - Recently popular posts
  • New - Latest submissions

Filter by Board

Focus on areas you care about:

  • Feature Requests
  • Integrations
  • Your specific product area

Filter by Status or Tags

Narrow down the list further using the filter dropdowns:

  • Status - Show only posts in a specific workflow stage (e.g. Planned, In Progress)
  • Tags - Filter by topic or category labels

Search

Look for specific topics using the search bar.

Your Voted Posts

Your votes are tracked automatically. Posts you've voted on display a highlighted vote button so you can easily see which items you've supported.

To track posts you care about, use the subscription bell on each post to follow updates. Check the **Notifications** page to see activity on posts you're subscribed to.

Vote Notifications

Stay informed about posts you've voted on:

Event Notification
Status change "Feature X is now In Progress"
Shipped "Feature X has shipped!"
Team comment "Team replied to Feature X"

Configure notifications in your account settings.

Voting Best Practices

Vote Selectively

Your votes are a signal. Use them for items that truly matter to you.

Look for Similar Posts

Before voting, check for duplicates. Vote for the existing post with the most engagement.

Add Comments

If you have additional context, add a comment explaining your use case:

  • Why this matters to you
  • How you'd use it
  • Your current workaround

Avoid Vote Manipulation

Don't: - Create multiple accounts to vote - Ask others to vote without context - Game the system

This undermines the feedback process and may result in vote removal.

How Teams Use Votes

Votes are one factor in prioritization:

Factor Description
Vote count How many users want this
User segments Which customers are asking
Strategic fit Alignment with product vision
Effort Development complexity
Dependencies Technical requirements
High votes don't guarantee implementation, but they ensure visibility.

Common Questions

Why do I need to sign in to vote?

Some workspaces require sign-in for voting to prevent manipulation and keep the signal accurate. Individual boards can also restrict voting to signed-in users, specific segments, or team members, regardless of the workspace setting.

Admins control the workspace setting at Admin → Settings → Moderation ("Allow anonymous interaction"). See Moderation for details.

Can I vote on my own posts?

Yes! Your vote is automatically added when you submit feedback.

Do votes expire?

No. Votes persist unless you remove them.

Can I see who voted?

This depends on workspace settings. Some organizations show voter counts only; others show voter names.

Can admins vote on my behalf?

Yes. Workspace admins can add votes on behalf of users — for example, when a customer requests a feature through a support channel. These proxy votes count toward the total vote count and you receive the same status update notifications as if you voted yourself. Proxy votes aren't subject to a board's Vote permission, so admins can add votes on any board.

Can admins remove my vote?

Yes. Admins can remove any vote (including your direct vote or a proxy vote) from the voters list on a post. This is typically used to clean up accidental proxy votes or remove votes from deactivated accounts. You won't be notified when a vote is removed.
