Are there any plans to allow editing of headers and footers in the DOCX editor?
Hello James,
We are aware of this feature, and I’ve communicated your interest to our team as well.
If you could provide some further information around the context of why you want the feature, this may help prioritize its development. We would be interested to know:
- What is the workflow that you would use the requested feature in?
- Why is the feature valuable to you and your users?
- How are you coping without it right now?
Best Regards,
Darian
I had answered this question via email, so my apologies. If I hadn’t gotten an automated email, I wouldn’t have known you didn’t get the response. Here you go:
Hello James,
We are aware of this feature, and I’ve communicated your interest to our team as well.
If you could provide some further information around the context of why you want the feature, this may help prioritize its development. We would be interested to know:
- What is the workflow that you would use the requested feature in?
[JT] When the DOCX editor is loaded, we would like it users could double click on the header area or the footer area and edit, similar to how Word does this.
- Why is the feature valuable to you and your users?
[JT] We have had several users inquire about the feature. One acquired our system but is considering abandoning it because they cannot update headers. I think they’re using it primarily for dates.
- How are you coping without it right now?
[JT] We are launching this coming weekend with the editor. That said, based on what I’ve seen, there’s no way to cope with this. The editor loads the headers and footers just fine but they can’t be clicked on or changed, which is a big impediment to many of our users.
Hello James,
I heard back from the product team, and we are aiming for a release of header and footer editing by the end of Q4 2024 or Q1 2025, subject to change.
Best Regards,
Darian
