Allow Custom Actions
Suggested by Chris Lowndes – Under Review – 4 Comments
Allow authors to develop custom actions to include in Guides steps. Some examples of the type of actions which should be permitted to extend the use cases for guides: - take a photo or video from within HoloLens 2 to audit a step or capture an object state - calling a REST API with a piece of data, adding the response to the available data on the next step - calling an Azure Function, passing a piece of data (e.g. a photo of an object), adding the response to the available data on the next step

When the guide is completed in the Guides application, set the completion rate of Work Orders' service task of Field Service to be 100% and the status to be Completed.
Suggested by Yuta Wakita – Under Review – 0 Comments
Currently, if the status of the work order service task is completed from Field Service, the Guides side will also be completed. Please let the Guides be able to complete the status of the work order service task of Field Service too. [Actual Results] When the status of the Work Orders' service task is completed from Field Service, the Guides side is also completed. However, it is unclear whether the opposite (Guides > Field Service) is possible as a function because there is no information. [Expected Results] Guides application completes the status of the FielsService work order service task to 100% and completes the status when the guide is completed.

Stretch
Suggested by Jonathan Montplaisir – Under Review – 1 Comments
Being able to stretch holograms would save us so much time! Scaling is useful but stretching would bring us on another level. So far, we have to draw all the proportions of rectangles, cylinders and all other shapes separately. It's also hard to track all of these in the 3D library. -
Allow the use of high quality or complex 3D models in Guides by integrating with Azure Remote Rendering Service
Suggested by Alexander Meijers – Under Review – 0 Comments
In some situations a much higher quality of 3D models is required during a training. It is also possible to extend the functionality van Microsoft Guides to for example a form of digital twin with real-time information through Power Apps. In that case a more detailed model is required. Current Microsoft Guides does not allow models that big. That means you need to build a custom solution which for the most part does the same as Microsoft Guides. It would be great to have large models streamed into Microsoft Guides steps by integrating Microsoft Guides with Azure Remote Rendering Service. -
Hologram Speech Ballon
Suggested by Ken Crawford – Under Review – 1 Comments
A fillable hologram text box…similar to a cloud bubble with dialog that you see in comics. Doesn't need a lot of text room but being able to provide some text (think twitter 256 in lengths) near a location on a big piece of machinery is helpful.

Addition of pause and resume functions for GUides
Suggested by – Under Review – 1 Comments
We heard many needs from our customers as follows. Workers would like to resume thier work and restart from the next step after thier break, like lunch time, when they using Guides. Also, even if the workers changed, Guides would be continued to operate, and would carry out the work from previos person to next person from next step.

Don't require login every time you start the application
Suggested by J Verhoog – Under Review – 0 Comments
Hi It is very tiring to have to login using a Hololens on Guides. Time and frustration would be saved if the login credentials were simply saved on the device. Please allow this.

Adding the ability to remove content from Guides
Suggested by Jim Orcherton – Under Review – 0 Comments
Hello. Please add the ability to remove content from Guides from within the software itself. I will have lots of models and would like to remove them on demand whenever possible.

Tool/Part Hologram icons to have text
Suggested by Ken Crawford – Under Review – 2 Comments
Hololens already tool icons/holograms. The issue is that in the field it is really helpful to know the sizes of the tools. For example, if the wrench icon had the ability to specific 1/2 in. wrench this is very helpful. Additional, if a bolt icon or screw icon had the ability to specific 1/2 inch button head screw for example this goes along way.

Enable author to override 3D positional data for more precise placement
Suggested by Chris Lowndes – Under Review – 0 Comments
When authoring a guide, placing of 3D objects as part of a step is often imprecise at best. There should be a way for an author to 'fine tune' the placement of objects so that they align more precisely with existing holograms and real world space. For example - I have a 3D real world object and a virtual twin of that object as a transparent hologram. I wish to place that transparent twin exactly over the real world object after the anchor alignment step is completed. Because the author can only do this by hand, the angles and alignment are very difficult to get just right. When I compare this to setting up a scene in Unity (for example) the lack of access to XYZ position coordinates, rotation and scale is somewhat frustrating.
