How the Roadmap Works
Your roadmap is powered by statuses. When a feedback item moves to a status that has roadmap visibility enabled, it automatically appears on the roadmap — no manual curation required. Items are organized into status columns, giving users a clear visual of your pipeline at a glance.You control which statuses appear on the roadmap. Only items with a roadmap-visible status are shown.
Configuring Roadmap Visibility per Status
Each status in Feedovate has a Show on Roadmap toggle. This determines whether feedback items with that status appear on the public roadmap.Recommended Configuration
| Status | Show on Roadmap | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Draft | No | Internal only — still being evaluated |
| Planned | Yes | Committed items users should know about |
| In Progress | Yes | Active work builds confidence |
| Completed | Yes | Proof of delivery and momentum |
| Rejected | No | Not relevant to the public roadmap |
Showing or Hiding the Roadmap
Control whether the roadmap is visible on your public portal.
When disabled, the roadmap page is hidden from your public portal entirely. It remains accessible to your team in the admin dashboard.

How Items Reach the Roadmap
Feedback flows onto the roadmap automatically through the status system. There is no separate step to “add to roadmap” — the status is the mechanism.Feedback is Submitted
A user submits a feature request through the public portal or your team adds it from the dashboard.
Status is Updated
Your team reviews the item and moves it to a roadmap-visible status like Planned or In Progress.
Item Appears on Roadmap
The item is now visible on the public roadmap under the corresponding status column.
Best Practices
Update Statuses Regularly
A stale roadmap erodes trust. Move items through your pipeline as work progresses.
Keep Promises Realistic
Only move items to Planned when you’re genuinely committed to building them.
Close the Loop
When items reach Completed, publish a changelog entry to announce the update.
