In this article: Ideas Forum - Share ideas and offer support


 

The Ideas Forum is an open space for partners to share ideas and offer support for other partner ideas. We welcome suggestions to enhance existing program documentation and tools, new resources and features, or deployment experiences with Microsoft products.

Vague ideas are hard to act on, please provide as much detail as possible, especially links or screenshots of what issue your idea seeks to address.
