Add indents, lines, or bullets between items in a Table of Contents
When items in a Table of Contents wrap to two or more lines, it can be difficult to distinguish between the different items in the list.
I suggest adding formatting that makes it easier to see where each new item begins. I've attached a few possibilities.

Retain status of heading folding state in notes
Currently when you fold a heading the information under it is hidden (standard behavior).
However, when you navigate away from the thought and then activate it again, all headings are expanded. It would be nice if the fold status of headings is saved with the note it retains fold status after navigating away.

Make the lines of a YouTube video's table of contents “clickable/usable”
Make the lines of a YouTube video's table of contents “clickable/usable”
Just as an example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTSRx78Aac8
When you click on this link, you will see a YouTube video – like millions of others. Then click on “More” and you will (hopefully) see a few lines that represent the content of the video (like a table of contents) and the corresponding time code at the beginning of each line.
This makes it easy to jump to a specific point in a longer video.
I would be delighted if theBrain would one day retain these links when I insert text like this…2 votes -
Adding a set of more meaningful export options (visuals, presentation, interoperabiity)
I wish all the work I put up and all the great results I can achieve with TheBrain could be exported in some more meaningful (presentational, interoperable) formats.
I am thinking of things like OPML, multi-thought PDFs including image references to the plex, visuals of the Plex – also local areals, and more linear ones like mind-/concept maps), ways to have slides as output etc.
I am sure others will have some more ideas.
But I feel the current set of export options of TheBrain makes it a very "mute" endpoint of knowledge processes in a lot of scenarios.

Text color style format copy/paste
Able to copy and then paste a color style format that has been implemented on to text and its background.
I often highlight certain phrases with a specific color, like a highlighter.
I would like to be able to copy the font color and font background color format, then paste it to other text.
Ideally, the text formatting should also be saved as a preference that can be implemented on any text.

UI101: Closing Pop-up Windows
It would be helpful to add the usual "X" button for "Close Window" to the pop-up windows of the commands "Add Attachment/Add from Brainbox..." and "Add Attachmen/Add File from Template...". I know, one can use ESC, but having a "X" button for closing a window is an almost universal standard that everybody knows.

Themes as a thought property, including background
We can assign backgrounds to thoughts using the Typing system (meh), but you have to be careful that all backgrounds work with within the applied theme (or else your text might become ineligible). That's because the theme is applied globally, while backgrounds are not.
The solution is to allow themes on a finer grained scale, like at the typing system level (to match backgrounds as it work now) or on selected thoughts basis.

MD Types for Thought types
For a thought type - e.g. Citation I would like to have a citation MD which will be preperated like a formula
Author:
Titel:
Pages
etc.This should be the default MD for the specific type.
Or a possibility to create Default MDs for special thoughts, which could be added via Add Attachment/Add Special MD File. The default blank MD File should be replaced with this special md file
The default MD file should be replaced, with the MD type file, because I would like to see it clicking on the thought without the necessity of a further selection.

UI enhancements to the AI note generation
Have a text box to add some text at the bottom of AI generated content. For me it would be "Generated by $model on $date". Ideally those would fill in
For Length of AI, a slider is not a good interface. Replace with Radio buttons giving easy access to different lengths. See screen shot
https://forums.thebrain.com/post/feedback-word-count-on-ai-9841-9930-9931-12744381Add a checkbox to optionally have AI add a Wikipedia link and maybe some other common ones. I often type this in and its helpful to get this link automatically.

Attribute Inheritance with Tags
If not explicitly overridden subtypes inherit the attributes (i.e. color, icon) of their super type.
The same should happen with tags and subtags.1 vote -
Repeat Screen Shot to Note at same size
When watching presentations in meetings or webinars, I often want to repeatedly screen capture into notes. Sometimes slides are moving fast and I don't have time to drag the screen shot window evertime.
As a user, I would like to have a command that Repeats Previous Screenshot and adds to current note.This is discussed here

Make it possible to insert an image as a thought icon, from a heic file
I see .jpg and .png and .gif formats are supported (User Guide TheBrain 14 p115) Since the heic format seems to be standard in the Apple system, it would be useful to be able to copy them to icons.

Request to Add Outline View Mode to The Brain's Cloud Version
I frequently use the outline view mode in The Brain Software, as it significantly enhances my ability to organize and visualize information. However, I've noticed that when I share a Brain with others, the web browser version of The Brain currently lacks this feature.
I believe the outline view mode is a valuable tool that would greatly benefit users of the Cloud version as well. Is it possible to add this feature to the Cloud version of The Brain?
Your assistance with this request would be greatly appreciated, as it would improve the overall usability and sharing capabilities of The…

Make it possible to deselect Notes content under Create Document.
For purposes of feeding content to an AI, I'd like to be able to Create a Document that only includes the Thought Title and Label Content. Right now there is now way to exclude the full Notes content.

Allow the manual customization of Notes HTML, so I can use Tabulator to create custom tables
I would like to be able to manually edit the html of notes from inside thebrain (and have it rendered in notes), to include styling and external scripts like Tabulator, which is a javascript library that is used to create dynamic interactive tables. I think adding a raw code html feature to notes would be awesome and allow us to customize our notes further!
