Hey, the poll is currently a trial of my own, am in discussions with Penpot to develop it further. So currently it is not possible to add anything yet.

@carolina.portugal You’re welcome, feel free to implement this as you wish, after this this topic may be deleted to avoid confusion.

In Github issues its also possible to redirect someone to an external site to submit for example an feature request, to do so take a look [here](https://ryanmulligan.dev/blog/external-links-issue-template-options/)

 ![17347663334644040031110544715897](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/penpot/original/2X/9/9168ecff6daa322499b55151cd0758872c3f69d7.jpeg)

So that the feature requests are handeld on this forum and no longer on GitHub.  
The existing feature requests ob GitHub that are not yet managed in Taiga can be inported in this forum. Afterwards the feature request on GitHub can be closed with a notification that its exported to the forum.

And possible move topics like this [Better text formatting](https://community.penpot.app/t/better-text-formatting/7284) to the new category and include in the poll.

**Found how to vote on multiple choices**

</div>

**Use this to create poll with multiple choices**

```auto
[poll results=always type=multiple public=true chartType=bar]
- [export a Penpot UI design to import it in Flutter project](https://community.penpot.app/t/how-can-i-export-ui-design-in-to-my-flutter-project/7389)
- [on “trigger” -> Swap Component](https://community.penpot.app/t/new-interaction-feature-on-trigger-swap-component/4846)
- [Better text formatting](https://community.penpot.app/t/better-text-formatting/7284)
- Next feature request
[/poll]

```

**The disadvantage of using a poll is that it apparently cannot be modified after 5 minutes. So no additional options can be added afterwards.**

 ![afbeelding](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/penpot/original/2X/e/e27f4b7aa0925031f21dafd6b7f83c62e0062846.png)

[Discourse poll add extra options afterwards not possible](https://meta.discourse.org/t/poll-with-ability-for-user-to-add-their-own-options/87630/) (post on Discourse forum)

**Since this is a workaround to use something similar to Upvoting, I suggest the following:**  
Create an additional category on the forum specifically for feature requests (now feature request is an sub category of “help us improve”, I suggest to make it a main category). In the main category feature request, you can then create 2 subcategories 1 for Penpot core and 1 for Penpot plugin.  
Provide a template that serves as a guide for setting up a feature request. Create a topic where people can post the link to their already posted feature request ( submitted on the forum or in GitHub).  
In GitHub redirect people to the feature request category on the forum when they want to submit an feature request, [here](https://community.penpot.app/t/topic-to-vote-for-your-favourite-feature-request/7408/6) is how to do this.  
Place a call to post the link of the already posted feature request in the created topic. In addition, give people the option to create a new feature request using the template in the feature request category on the forum and give 10 days to do so, for example. This can be done by placing a message on the forum and on channels below and possibly [Penpot Product Hunt Shoutouts](https://www.producthunt.com/products/penpot/shoutouts)  
 ![afbeelding](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/penpot/original/2X/c/c4d706e0e1812dc6a823eeb54d4a9e3bf25323b3.png)  
(Is it possible to add [Penpot Product Hunt](https://www.producthunt.com/products/penpot) to [Penpot main page](https://penpot.app/) on the bottom whit [Product Hunt logo](https://www.producthunt.com/branding))

Once an feature request is moved from GitHub to the forum, the feature request on GitHub can be closed.

After these e.g. 10 days create the Poll one for Penpot core and 1 for Penpot plugins with all feature requests that people can vote for. From then on it is no longer possible to submit feature requests that end up on the Poll (this is because after 5 minutes it is no longer possible to edit the poll). Instead, feature requests submitted after the Poll is closed will be placed in a waiting list. Once the first Poll is considered completed after x amount of time, the top x enter [Taiga](https://tree.taiga.io/project/penpot/backlog). Then another poll is created this time with the proposals from the first poll that did not make it into the top x and the proposals that are in the queue. If necessary, the proposals that received no or bitterly few votes can be deleted. (This is a preview of how I see it, feel free to engage in discussion and possibly make your own proposal)

By following the above steps, you are actually doing all the groundwork if switching to, say, [Forem](https://github.com/forem/forem) where Upvoting is possible.

**Possible icon for the feature request category on the forum.**  
But in the same style as the current forum category icons.

Besides, I also find this one interresting to determine which feature request that made it into [Penpot Taiga](https://tree.taiga.io/project/penpot/epics) to implement first.

 ![RICE-framework-components](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/penpot/original/2X/0/0ba39cb3674a068d6d5e1cd01ad41ebd3fba669a.jpeg)

> The RICE framework is a prioritization model that helps evaluate various ideas and initiatives based on 4 factors: Reach, Impact, Confidence, and Effort.

Or have a look here [Methods of prioritization in agile (II): scoring formulas and rice](https://community.taiga.io/t/methods-of-prioritization-in-agile-ii-scoring-formulas-and-rice/1893)

Would also be cool if you could use the RICE model in [Taiga](https://community.taiga.io/t/rice-model-for-prioritization/4740), couldn’t find this directly…

Hey,

> [@carolina.portugal](#):
>
> i will look into all your suggestions

@carolina.portugal Do you mean you guys will see if the above will be applied or not? Or do you mean the above will be implemented and you are looking at how you will do it?

Because personally, I think it would be very useful should something like the above become a reality. This would make it easier to see what the Penpot community would prefer to see implemented in Penpot.
