Welcome to the HCL Connections Product Ideas Lab! The place where you can submit product ideas and enhancement request. We encourage you to participate by voting on, commenting on, and creating new ideas. All new ideas will be evaluated by the HCL Product Management & Engineering teams, and the next steps will be communicated. While not all submitted ideas will be executed upon, community feedback will play a key role in influencing which ideas are and when they will be implemented.

Status Under Consideration

Allow direct download of desktop plug-in (not via Flexnet)

Nowadays users can download desktop plug-ins only via HCL Flexnet - which nobody manages to do so. Even many adminisrators have troubles to download files from Flexnet and update download links in Connections (My Drive page) regularly.

Therefore users use old versions of the plug-ins which affects adoption and user experience or - even worse - they use no plug-in and have no file sync and no roundtrip editing at all.

Please change this!

(During IBM times, everybody could download the plugins without registration).

    I've lost the count of the times I've got a ticket from customers and the issue was the outdated version of the plugin. The plugin should be easy to reach for customers and possibly should auto update itself like every modern software.
