We've introduced a brand new experience for suggesting features alongside the current ability to report problems on [Visual Studio Developer Community](https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com). This is a new way you can be empowered to engage directly with Visual Studio’s engineering workflow.

Until now, Visual Studio users have used the User Voice forum to propose new feature ideas. The *Suggest a feature* experience in Developer Community allows you to transition from the User Voice forum into a single platform for all your feedback that engages directly with the Visual Studio product teams.

We've migrated an initial set of ideas from the User Voice forum to Developer Community. Migration was done based on the community impact of the feedback and our product roadmap priorities. If you were expecting to see a suggestion here that we may have missed, feel free to add it to Developer Community.

You can also start a feature suggestion directly from Visual Studio by choosing **Provide a Suggestion** from the **Provide Feedback** icon near the top right of the main Visual Studio window:

The voting system in User Voice operates differently from the votes in the Developer Community. To maintain the integrity of Developer Community vote counts and to avoid skewing of votes, we show the User Voice vote counts prominently as a tag next to each feature suggestion. As you continue to vote on suggestions in the enhanced Developer Community, your new vote counts will show separately from the User Voice vote counts.

Choosing **Provide a Suggestion** takes you to [Developer Community](https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com), where you can enter your suggestion.
