    There is no way to delete multiple document in the folder at the same time.

    There is no way to delete multiple document in the folder at the same time. We have to delete each document with a couple of additional click as like more -> more action -> move to trash. This is not reasonable. Even though we can not delete...

    Fix menu bars when scrolling

    Create a view to see all content a users follows directly (user self service not admin or other people / content roles)

    Each user needs a single place to identify all the content/items which the user follows. The concept of following is an obstacle to my users and me. If somebody has an easy description, you are welcome to provide this ;-) - post a link into the re...

    We like to have an extra column in the "All Community Files" list so that we can see which of these files is shared in one or more folders (just the way we can see the # of views) We need this option to easily check: a) if all files are put in a f...
