There is a need for enhanced version control in Swimlane. Currently, our version does not support it, making it tough to move changes between environments during significant updates.

I would like to see improvements in the minor bugs that occur with each update, as some features might have issues.

I would prefer to have more colors added to represent different risks or notations, which can be used for the prioritization of risks and the significance of information.

Swimlane is not scalable because it is not exposed. Currently, it's a manual component that requires configuration through coding.
