Add spell checker to CI/CD pipeline
Spell checker helps maintain a high standard of accuracy, ensuring your content is reviewed in initial PR's itself. Just like how we use Clayton code feedback.
If typos is in customer facing texts in UI (which is can be a big problem in public facing application where large no of users visits.)
It would be good if spell checker can be added as a policy inside Clayton. So that we can find and fix issues easily.
Advantages
* We can also prevent potential PROD P1 errors.
* Enhanced Code Quality
* Improved Deployment Efficiency
* Reduced Technical Debt8 votes -
Darkmode option
It would be really helpful having a dark mode of gearset UI. A big number of devs prefer dark mode over bright mode. Since gearset is a tool mainly used by devs, would be good to give to devs the option to customize their UI.

Auto merge of PRs
Once the validation process is successfully completed for the respective PR, it would be very helpful to have an option for automatic merge and deployment. This would streamline the release process and reduce manual steps.
Additionally, it would be great if we could have control at the org level to enable or disable auto merge functionality. This way, teams can decide whether they want to use auto merge based on their workflow preferences or organizational policies.
Thank you for considering these enhancements!

Ability to Select and Merge Specific Changes in Lightning Components and Flows
We are using Gearset to compare and merge changes in Lightning and Aura components, as well as Salesforce Flows. While the tool works well overall, we’ve noticed that it currently lacks the ability to select and move specific changes during a merge. Instead, it requires replacing the entire file, which isn’t ideal in many cases.
It would be extremely helpful if Gearset could allow selective merging of specific lines or sections—similar to how it works for Apex classes. This feature would greatly improve control and efficiency when working with Flows and Lightning components.
Thanks for considering this enhancement!

View Deployment Summary from Pipelines
My team develops in siloed dev orgs. Once a feature is complete, we create a PR against an integration environment.
This triggers a test suite run in the target org and a peer code review. This process works well for Apex. However, admins on our team build automations in Flow, which are nearly impossible to review in GitHub due to the complexity of the XML.
To address this, we’ve been using Gearset’s Flow Navigator for Flow code reviews. Previously, it only took a couple of clicks to reach the Deployment Summary screen, and the Flow visualization made reviews much easier.

Using GitHub Apps to Replace Service Account for Team Shared Connection
Problem Statement / Current Situation:
For enterprise security compliance, organizations are moving to a model where all third-party integrations must use pure application-based identities (like GitHub Apps) instead of user-based accounts.
Currently, Gearset's CI/CD jobs require a "Team Shared Connection," (https://docs.gearset.com/en/articles/8455568-team-shared-source-control-connections) which uses a combination of a GitHub App for authorization and a separate GitHub "service account" user for commit attribution. While this is a functional workaround, it still forces us to create, manage, and secure a user entity in GitHub. This goes against modern security principles that aim to eliminate the management of all user credentials, even…

Delay Jira status updates until after post-deployment steps are completed
Currently, when using the Jira integration with Gearset pipelines, status updates happen immediately after the initial deployment completes, but before any post-deployment steps are executed.
We need the ability to configure Jira status updates to occur only after ALL post-deployment steps are successfully completed. This would ensure tickets only show as ready for validation when they're truly ready to be tested.
This is important for teams that have mandatory post-deployment steps (like data imports, configuration changes, or additional verifications) that must be completed before a story is actually ready for testing. The current behavior can lead to confusion when testers…

Allow multiple team members to be assigned to a single sandbox on the pipeline view
Currently a single team shared sandbox can have multiple users with delegated access. However, only one of the users can view the sandbox in a pipeline view. In order to allow multiple people to see the sandbox -
Current solutions:
- Add the same sandbox multiple times and assign each to the required team members
- Or, allow all team members to see all sandboxesSuggested solution:
- Allow multiple team members to be selected via the "Assign sandbox to team member" function.5 votes -
Add a feature to ignore queue members when deploying queues
When deploying Queues with Gearset the members section is automatically included and the member list is deployed to the target org. Gearset has a suggested fix to sync the queue members with the target environment but it doesn't always work.
Salesforce supports deploying queues with an empty list of users as queue members are more like data than metadata I suggest a feature toggle in Gearset where the users section of the queue is ignored for deployments to preserve the user list in the destination org.
Our company and many others probably maintain the queue users directly in production as…4 votes -
Add to Org Explorer the ability to search text within thing like Flows and Email Templates
In addition to being able to search on the name. It would be helpful to also be able to search text within things like Flows and Email Templates. Like if you have the subject of the email template, but not the name of it to help find it.

add the ability to set a Profile Picture
Honestly I'm actually surprised it's not possible to set an avatar at the moment, it seems a pretty basic feature in today's online world!
As a neurodivergent team, we want to increase accessibility by being able to distinguish our team members within the platform faster and more easily, so that we can increase our productivity.
It's simply easier to recognise my user in GS if it's "the one with the funny cat" instead of just my initials. Similarly, since we have team members with the same initials that also makes it harder to distinguish them in GearSet since their profile…

Pick up test classes to run from the apex class
Add a variable in apex classes where we can specify which test classes to run.
Recently you added the ability to specify the test classes to run on a pull request, which is great!
I know <ApexClassName>Test are automatically picked up by GS, but would be great if we could specify with
@TestClasses('CaseTestSuite,LeadTestSuite') or similar in the actual Apex Class and Gearset would automatically pick it up and add those test classes to the pull requests .3 votes -
Add an account setting to "Mute Live Chat"
As an experienced Gearset user I'd like to mute the live chat so the pop-up notifications don't block buttons. Pop-up notifications have been rather disruptive.
In particular:
after selecting two orgs for a large compare operation, I try click "Compare", and walk away while the comparison runs.
When I return to my computer, I discover that the compare never initialized, and it turns out that although I could see and click the button "Compare", it was behind a live-chat pop-up "Hi David,...", and the button would NOT execute until I closed the live chat pop-up (x) button.I'm experiencing an…

Show doesRequireRecordChangedToMeetCriteria on Flow Navigator
The doesRequireRecordChangedToMeetCriteria toggle on flow Decisions doesn't show on Flow Navigator, making it harder to check for issues on builds when using the comparison tool.
doesRequireRecordChangedToMeetCriteria should show in the flow navigator, same as the rest of the decision configuration.

Remove "No Difference" items when commenting on jira tickets
when i connect a jira ticket to a commit, I like the way gearset posts a comment on the jira ticket listing the changed items. what I dont like is the long list of "no difference" items posted on the ticket. It makes the ticket comments super long and annoying to scroll through. can gearset update this to only post the difference metadatas, or at least give us the option to include or exclude

Enable Excel export of org differences—profiles, permission sets, and objects—in the same side-by-side format with change indicators
I compared two profiles from different orgs—specifically, the old and new environments of the same company—to identify any differences and present them to the client for review and approval of necessary changes in the new org. However, I was unable to export the comparison results into Excel. It would be extremely helpful to have the ability to export the comparison data in the same structured and visual format as shown in the Gearset comparison window, making it easier to review and share with stakeholders.

Provide a visual indicator on upstream systems when out of sync with master
Often times we see drift items added to PR's in our upstream systems. It would be nice to have an indicator that shows if a static branch is out of sync with master.

Automate upstream branch syncing
After merging/deploying to prod allow auto-creation of sync PR's to upstream branches/orgs (QA, UAT, Staging, etc...). If the sync PR's could be promoted automatically that would be amazing.

Delete Flow by Version Number
It would be beneficial to delete specific inactive flow versions. Examples where this would help streamline deployment changes:
You need to delete a custom field that is used in a flow. You create a new version of a flow, remove the dependency on the custom field and activate the new flow. Now you want to remove the flow version that still has the custom field dependency. Something like a checkbox to select the version(s) to remove.
You have inactive versions of a flow and you want to clean up the historic flow versions. Something like a checkbox to select the…

Add folders to Data Deployments for better organization
To help with organizing data deployment templates it would be great to have some sort of folder structure to allow us to group data deployments by team. We have several Salesforce Teams at my company and we all have slightly different data deployment needs. It would be great to have team folders for data deployment templates...for example Sales Team Templates, Service Team Templates, Marketing Team Templates, etc. Today we use some naming conventions which is fine, but would be a little cleaner if we had a folder structure. Thanks for your consideration.
