Before starting here, please read: [How Feature Requests work](https://backstage.polyend.com/t/how-feature-requests-work/91)

This is how you draft a good request.

- One feature at a time. Don’t mix multiple features.
- You can submit as many requests as you want.
- Aim for a self-explanatory title.
- **Follow the template provided.**
- Use plain English and be concise.
- You are drafting a community feature request, **not a personal wish**. Refer to the **user** and **not to yourself**. Use neutral descriptions, not rants.
- Focus on what you’re feature should achieve, not on how to implement it.
- If available, it’s always useful to add screenshots, diagrams, links to documentation or videos (including those of other products) to illustrate your feature.
- Add two [tags](https://backstage.polyend.com/tags), one for the product and one for the main feature.

> ℹ Note: Feature Requests are editable by others, it’s a living document, wiki-style. All improvements are welcome.

## Review and publication on the Feature Request

- All requests are **immediately votable**.
- [Moderators and administrators](https://backstage.polyend.com/about) will review requests, with the goal to avoid incomplete proposals, duplicates, typos, broken links.
- They also check that the [community guidelines](https://backstage.polyend.com/faq) are followed.

Here’s a detailed look at the lifecycle of a request:
