# What visitors can do

> Browse features, roadmap, and changelog; submit support tickets; suggest, vote, and comment when enabled.

Visitors interact with your portal without needing an account for most actions. Signing in unlocks suggesting features, voting, and commenting.

## Browse without signing in

| Tab             | What visitors can do                                                                |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Features**    | View the board (no pending cards), filter by status, sort, search, open card detail |
| **Roadmap**     | View Planned / In Development / Shipped columns, search, use mobile section tabs    |
| **Changelog**   | Read entries, filter by search                                                      |
| **Support**     | Submit a contact form with optional bug report and screenshots                      |
| **Card detail** | Read feature description, vote counts, and existing comments                        |

**Pending features** are never visible on the public portal — not on the board, roadmap, search, or direct URLs.

## Features board

**Page title:** Features

**Status filters:** All, Open for voting, Planned, In development, Shipped (no Pending option)

**Sort options:** Most voted, Least votes, Newest, Oldest

**Empty states:**

* No cards: *"Be the first to suggest a new feature for this project"*
* Filter empty: *"Try selecting a different status filter."*
* Search empty: *"Try a different search term."*

Vote buttons are visible on all non-pending cards. Clicking without signing in opens an auth dialog.

The public **Changelog** is read-only. Entry type badges: **New**, **Fix**, **Improvement**.

## Support
