  1. Show a wait spinner while Explain Plan is working

    When explain plan in Compass takes a long time to analyze, it appears as though nothing is happening and it looks broken.

  2. Touching a collection on the left hand side, wipes out your work in aggregations with no warning

    Touching a collection on the left hand side, wipes out your work in aggregations with no warning

    When using aggregations and you are busy with your pipeline(s)

    If you left click on any of the collections on the left panel, 

    It wipes out your work on the aggregations (no warnings at all)

    [Yet when we paste in an exported version of the pipeline it gives a warning]

    This makes it hard to teach people how to use aggregations, as they have to treat the left hand panel like a land mine (and all they wanted to do was to look…

  3. Add an action to the contextual menu of the view to copy the pipeline to the clipboard.

    Currently, we don't have an easy way to save the aggregation pipeline steps used to create a view. Also, after deleting a collection, the view aggregation steps are no longer visible. We would like an option to allow saving aggregation pipeline steps for this use case.

  5. "last updated" date and time for Saved Pipelines

    When experimenting with several tryies to find the ideal pipeline with the awesome aggregation builder - it would be great if a "last updated" date and time will appear to the side, next to the pipeline's name, in the "Saved Pipelines" window. Thank you for the consideration.

  6. Compass: Set custom names for connections

    When having many projects and connections saved in Compass, assign a custom name would be easier to identify the connection we want connect to.

    The release of support for multiple connections in Compass v1.44.0 improved the connection saving & editing experience. I'm going to mark this feedback item as completed. Please let us know if you have more feedback.

  7. AWS IAM

    It would be nice to have such feature for MongoDB Compass so that user can connect by assuming an IAM role.

  9. Allow customers to copy a pretty print formatted json

    Currently when copying a document from MongoDB compass, the copy button will put the stringified json onto your clipboard. However, the text that is copied omits whitespace. As such, if I want to make the json more human parsable, I need to visit a website like jsonformatter, paste the document, then recopy the cleaned json doc.
    Would be nice if we could specify whether to copy w/ or w/o whitespace formatting.

    A little late to update the portal, but the copy button started including whitespace to enabling pasting pretty print formatted JSON a long time ago. I hope that the users who upvoted this item have found that improvement to be helpful! Please let us know if you have any more feedback.

  10. Allow customization capability to Administrators

    1. Provide option to administrators to freeze the Read Preference dropdown to Secondary to restrict users only to secondary nodes of the cluster.
    2. Freeze maxTimeMS value to a desired value (operations team would decide the value) rather than providing this option to users whether or not to use it and let rogue queries run for long duration on production clusters.

  11. Don't query entire collection on connection

    In large collections, there is no need to immediately query the entire collection. Either change this to query only the first 20 entries by default, or stop querying one connection. This would improve the connection experience greatly.

    With Compass 1.30 we improved the experience by:

    • no longer loading all the db and collection stats when connecting
    • no longer waiting for the document count to load before displaying the first 20 documents and running the count operation asynchronously instead

  13. Support creation of all geospatial indexes in Compass

    Geospatial data filtering can be displayed in Compass in Analyze Schema, but the geospatial index to make new maps cannot be made. mongo shell or embedded shell need to be used. Documentation about geospatial capabilities or at least links to the server manual would be nice.

  14. Make it load faster

    Nobody cares about how many plugins are still loading. Show the connection screen at least and load the plugins in the background. Also, by default have no plugins because why should I wait for plugins to load that I don't use? Also load plugins in parallel.

  15. Reverse sort order by default

    I was a big RockMongo user and am now trying to switch over to Compass. I found it extremely convenient that in RockMongo, the default sort order was {_id: -1} because that means that you see the most recent records first. I didn't realize how useful this was until I discovered that Compass sorts in forward order. Either a "reverse order" button or simply a change to the default would be highly desireable.

    We are excited to announce that the latest version of Compass, 1.45.3, introduces a new "Default Sort for Query Bar" setting. You can now select {_id: -1} or ($natural: -1} as the default sort for results returned by the query bar.


    Upgrade your Compass application and configure the new setting to enable this feature today.

  16. Support for Client Side Field Level Encryption

    Currently, there is no way to provide Client Side Field Level Encryption options inside of MongoDB Compass. We'd like to be able to provide AWS KMS details to Compass and have it decrypt read values if the user provides the correct credentials to access the Master key.

    The Node driver which Compass is built on seems to be supported so having a way to provide the AWS KMS creds needed inside of Compass would be very helpful for us.

  17. Want "expand all" button for documents in view.

    It's very convenient to expand all fields of a document recursively. I want this feature for documents in view.

    Thank you for providing feedback and helping us improve our products! The option to expand all documents currently in view was released to MongoDB Compass in version 1.45.2: https://github.com/mongodb-js/compass/releases/tag/v1.45.2

  18. Text based pipeline mode

    I know you can import the pipeline from a language but I want to completely disable GUI pipeline builder and just have a text editor. The UI is too slow and clunky, just give me a text editor to directly edit and run an aggregate.

  20. Export schema analysis for documentation

    Users should be able to export the results of the schema analysis such that they can use it as a part of their documentation.
