Rabindra K Maharana - PeerSpot reviewer
Editing features improve document accessibility
There is a holiday calendar, however, I need to install an app or add something to it. The add-on feature is not readily available or well-documented. Guidance on this should be available in a forum. Recently, I used a feature in another tool—perhaps GitHub—where it helped prepare a chart. It involved listing resources, like having fifteen people in the X team, ten in the Y team, and seven in the Z team. It created a bar chart showing these numbers. This chart used AI to offer users the option to create it based on the data. It was then created on a separate page and made available.

Refiners help to easily narrow down results based on metadata applied to content. Previews allow users to take action from search results without opening the document.
The preview feature made the results page take too long to load. It also took a long time to generate document previews. Randomly, it would show “cannot load preview”. I do not know the reason, but that happened a lot and we had to turn this feature off. Preview load time could be reduced. We saw that it takes forever to load a document preview, and at times, after waiting, it just gave a ‘cannot load preview error’.
