How do I suggest a feature for Bookroo?
Step by step · Updated
Click Ideas in your class sidebar. It's one board shared by every Bookroo teacher: suggest what would make Bookroo better for your class, and vote for the ideas you want most. If we build your idea, we add $25 Book Cash to your Book Wallet.
Suggest an idea
- Click Ideas in your class sidebar, then Suggest an idea.
- Write your idea in a few words (3 to 120 characters). Add how it would help your class if you like.
- Click Send idea.
Your idea starts with your own vote. We review each idea before other teachers see it. Until then it sits under Your ideas with a Reviewing badge, visible only to you and the Bookroo team. You can't edit an idea once it's sent, so add a comment to it if you want to say more.
You can also reach the board from Book Wallet (Go to Ideas) and Resources (Suggest Feature).
Vote and comment
- Vote: click the arrow box to the left of an idea. Click it again to take your vote back. Voting is open until an idea ships.
- Comment: click an idea to open it, type under Comments, then click Comment. You can delete your own comments. Replies from us carry a Bookroo team tag.
Teachers appear by first name and last initial, such as "Pat M."
What the badges mean
| Badge | Where it shows | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Reviewing | Your ideas | We haven't reviewed it yet. Only you can see it. |
| (none) | Most wanted | It's on the board. Ideas with the most votes are at the top. |
| Planned | Most wanted | We plan to build it. |
| Shipped | Shipped | It's live in Bookroo. |
| Not now | Your ideas | We're not planning to build it for now. Open it to read why. |
| Merged | Your ideas | We combined it with a similar idea, and your vote moved over. Open it for a link to that idea. |
Emails you'll get
- Your own idea: when it goes on the board, is planned, ships, is set to Not now, or is merged.
- Ideas you voted for or commented on: when it's planned and when it ships.
The $25 reward
When an idea you suggested ships, we add $25 Book Cash to the Book Wallet of the class you suggested it from. If several teachers suggested the same idea and we merged them, the earliest one gets it. See Book Wallet and Book Cash.
