Provision users automatically from a SAML SSO provider.

Support for ADRs in IcePanel.

During a deployment of a new release icepanel becomes unavailable. It hangs on Loading. It would be better to inform about the reason that icepanel is temporarily unavailable.

Model that a connection goes via something else to reduce noise on a diagram. Helps with event-driven architecture and any intermediary step This could tie in with the technology selection as well. Possibly show that intermediate object or add it to the diagram when you select it / show a flow dynamically so it's not there most of the time but shows the full story when you need it. This could allow you to add a connection directly from "Thing A" to "Thing B" and use the exact same connection from "Thing A" to the event bus to "Thing B." API gateways also have the same issue as queues. Firewalls also would be useful for this.

Allow connection curves and points to be controlled. Like draw.io (but better). Even small controls would help with overlap issues.

SSO login initiated by the auth provider instead of IcePanel.

Add an option to export flows as an MP4 or similar animation that automatically plays through flow steps. - Credit to Brian Hasselbeck

It's difficult to maintain visibility of architecture diagrams in Confluence. Currently, we use an iframe-based approach that requires opening IcePanel, generating a share link, switching back to Confluence, inserting the iframe, and manually configuring parameters. This is time-consuming, error-prone, and limits adoption. Request to build a native IcePanel plugin for Confluence (like the Miro plugin) Feature details: * From within Confluence, provide a UI modal to browse and select diagrams from IcePanel spaces the user has access to. * Support for an embeddable iframe view of a selected IcePanel diagram. * Navigation to the source in IcePanel * Full-screen viewing

To support consistent use, especially in large or distributed orgs, it should be possible to specify which object types the members of a tag group can be applied to. When applying a tag, the list could be limited to applicable tags. Changing tag applicability may conflict with existing tags, so this capability should be limited to users with elevated permissions.

When merging landscapes, many objects and diagrams may be added to the target. To avoid disrupting the current state, create a draft and place all new objects there instead of merging them directly.
