Your Feedback
- Several members mentioned that they were unfamiliar with submitting deviations exclusively to Groups, though the deviants who were familiar with the feature said they found it useful for submitting content intended to be used specifically for that Group.
- Some deviants would like to be able to include images within their literature submissions. Suggested by *Jestloo
- Deviants would like a way to collaborate using deviantART muro. Suggested by ~Metacat66
- Some members would like an "Edit with deviantART Muro" button for their posted deviations. Suggested by *kitsuneymg
- Deviants would like a pencil tool for deviantART muro. Suggested by *Que-ink
- Some members would like to be able to set priority for some of the deviants they watch, so that those messages show up higher in their Message Center. Suggested by ~soniclink137
