Several new views and features have been added to Ideas over the last few months. Here's an overview of the most notable ones.

Rich text in Idea Lab / Idea descriptions

Lab and idea descriptions now use a rich text editor, the same one used in Huddo Wikis, so you can format text in both Idea Labs and individual Ideas.

You can also upload a hero image for a lab.

Follow Labs and Ideas

Follow an Idea Lab or an individual Idea by clicking the follow icon:

follow lab

Followed Labs and Ideas appear in the Following view. See Following and Notifications.

Custom Fields

Lab owners can now define custom fields in an Idea Lab:

The custom fields show up as prompts when people create an idea in that lab. Mark a field as required if a response is needed. See Custom Fields.

Labs can be sorted by trending. Trending is based on voting and idea activity in the last 14 days.

The new Trending view shows the top 20 trending labs, with the ideas in each lab also sorted by trending:
