Access Restrictions
Control the level of interaction allowed on your portal.Read-Only Mode
Read-Only Mode
Users can browse feedback, roadmap, and changelog but cannot submit, vote, or comment. Ideal for public-facing portals where you control all input internally, or for “coming soon” and paused products.
Disable Feedback Submission
Disable Feedback Submission
Hides the submission form entirely. Existing feedback remains visible, but no new submissions are accepted through the portal. Your team can still create feedback from the admin dashboard.
Disable Comments
Disable Comments
Turns off commenting across all feedback items on the portal. Existing comments remain visible but no new comments can be posted.
Disable Voting
Disable Voting
Upvote buttons remain visible but are disabled. Users see a warning cursor when hovering, indicating voting is turned off. Existing vote counts are preserved and displayed.
Disabling feedback, comments, or voting on the portal does not affect admin dashboard functionality. Your team can still create feedback, comment, and manage content internally.

Add a Link
Click Add Link and fill in:
- Label: Display text (e.g., “Privacy Policy”)
- URL: Full URL (e.g.,
https://yoursite.com/privacy)

| Documentation | https://docs.yourcompany.com |
| Privacy Policy | https://yourcompany.com/privacy |
| Terms of Service | https://yourcompany.com/terms |
| Status Page | https://status.yourcompany.com |
| Twitter / X | https://x.com/yourcompany |
Subdomain
Every Feedovate workspace gets a dedicated subdomain for its public portal.Portal URL Format
Example
| Workspace Slug | Portal URL |
|---|---|
acme | https://acme.feedovate.com |
rocketship | https://rocketship.feedovate.com |
my-saas | https://my-saas.feedovate.com |
To change your subdomain slug, update it in Settings → General. Note that changing the slug breaks existing links to your old portal URL.
Best Practices
Brand Consistency
Match your portal theme and logo to your main product. Users should feel like they never left your app.
Start Open, Tighten Later
Begin with anonymous access and auto-approval. Add authentication and moderation as your community grows.
Curate Your Footer
Include only essential links. Your portal footer is prime real estate — make every link count.
Review Quarterly
Revisit portal settings as your product evolves. What made sense at launch may not fit at scale.
