Editing a feature

Update a feature’s title, description, status, and expected delivery from the board or detail page.

As the project owner, you can edit any feature request at any time. Visitors cannot edit features — they can only suggest new ones, vote, and comment.

Where to edit

Surface	How to open
Features board	Click the pencil icon on a card (Edit feature card)
Feature detail page	Click the pencil icon in the card header

Both open the Edit Feature Request dialog.

Editable fields

Field	Details
Title	12–80 characters
Description	Can be cleared on edit; if non-empty, must be 40–480 characters
Status	Pending, Voting, Planned, In Dev, or Shipped
Expected delivery	Available when status is Planned or In Dev

Placeholders match the create dialog: "Enter feature title (12–80 characters)" and "Describe the feature... (40–480 characters)".

Save changes

Click Update to save. The button is disabled until something has changed. While saving, it shows Updating….

If you try to save with no changes, Bettter shows No changes detected.

Only the project owner can edit features. Attempting to edit as a non-owner returns “You don’t have permission to edit this card”.

Feature detail pages

Each feature has a dedicated detail page with full description, vote count, and comments:

Context	URL
Owner dashboard	/dashboard/[slug]/[cardSlug]
Public portal	{slug}.bettter.app/[cardSlug]

Editing from the detail page uses the same Edit Feature Request dialog as the board.
