1. credentials

   Add an option to not use any special mechanism (gnome keyring, ...) to store passwords

   I'm on bluefin and tearing my hair each time I reopen compass and need to readd the password to all the connections (especially with that popup that warns you when editing the connection string even though the password is blank)

2. guids as strings

   Get with the 21st century and give us a way to see guids as strings instead of binary. Other mongo browsers do this.

3. compass

   Dear MongoDB Team,

   I'm writing to provide feedback about MongoDB Compass interface changes. As a student learning MongoDB with 20+ classmates, we've noticed significant usability differences between versions.

   Our Experience:
   - We find MongoDB Compass version 1.43 (older version) more user-friendly than the current updated version
   - The frontend/UI design was more intuitive and practical for learning purposes
   - Specifically, the mongosh integration and button layout made database operations more accessible for beginners

   Why the older version worked better for us:
   1. More intuitive button placement and navigation
   2. Better integration between GUI and mongosh commands
   3. Clearer visual hierarchy for learning database concepts
   4. More practical workflow for educational use cases

   Request:
   Could you consider:
   - Bringing back some UI elements from version 1.43?
   - Providing a "Classic Mode" option for educational institutions?
   - Gathering more feedback from educational users before major UI changes?

   We appreciate MongoDB Compass as a learning tool and hope this feedback helps improve the user experience for students and educators.

   Best regards,
   Farid Hima

5. Allow CSV import window to dynamically resize based on Compass size

   macOS Sequioa 15.6.1
   Compass - Version 1.46.8 (1.46.8)

   When you view a collection there is the Add Data dropdown, which gives the option for Import JSON or CSV file.

   Using this allows you to upload a CSV file, which works.

   However, the import window seems to be set at a fixed height and width, so even making Compass itself larger doesn't change this.

   This makes reviewing an import CSV with a lot of columns a bit of a pain, with lots of side scrolling.

   For me at least it makes it more difficult to spot any errant "Types" that I haven't manually corrected (eg set autoselected Date to String etc).

   Can the "Import" window be made to scale its dimensions based on Compass window size?

   Thanks :-)

7. Open already connected DB in new window

   If I'm already connected to one of my DBs but want to view it in a new window, I have to disconnect, then connect -> open in new window. It would be nice to be able to open a new window without extra steps.

8. Re-open tab closed by accident

   Similar to Cmd+Shift+T (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+T (Win), re-open tab(s) that was closed.

   I often close tabs by accident when I drag the mouse to the tab and click to activate it and the cursor was on top of the X and close the tab instead. Very frustrating. The key binding can even be the same as the browsers, to keep it more familiar.

10. Let us connect to a database instance without specifying the port

    Our team runs Mongo in Docker containers. And since we run many Docker containers, which means multiple MongoDB instances on a single machine, we assign random ports to each instance.

    Then we put an Nginx reverse proxy in front of each instance. We provide certificates in the Nginx layer through Let's Encrypt and offer subdomains for each instance. So, for example:

    https://db.basket.com = port 36150
    https://db.cards.info = port 42755
    https://db.some-long-domain.tld = port 55490

    And so on.

    There are two problems here:

    1- Those ports are assigned dynamically on any container reload/restart, thus they are truly ephemeral and we can't memorize them or store them somewhere. But Mongo Compass does not support connecting through a domain only, or at least we could not figure out how to do it. Right now, we open the Compass, we have to SSH into the server, find the current port, edit the connection, and then connect, which is a true pain and highly inefficient.

    2- When we enable TLS, we get this error:
    Client network socket disconnected before secure TLS connection was established

    So, right now to connect to our databases, we need to manually fetch and set the port number and connect without TLS, which is not safe.

    We're stuck. Can you please make connecting to a host without a port possible? Also, can you provide more info on why TLS does not connect?

11. Additional Connection Colors

    I believe the addition of more colors to the Connections would be really helpful, we currently have a limited amount of colors. Maybe a color picker or at least a wider variety of colors would be simple to implement yet really useful.

12. Show state of replica set members in connection info

    It would be nice if the current state of the members of a replica set would be shown in the connection info window (PRIMARY, SECONDARY, ARBITER, ...).

    So the states can be easily checked without using the shell.

13. Allow per-instance read-only databases in MongoDB

    Hello MongoDB team,

    I manage several isolated MongoDB instances for different environments (dev, preprod, prod). In some cases, I would like to make an entire database read-only to prevent accidental writes (e.g., for preproduction).

    Currently, MongoDB only supports read-only at the instance level (with --readOnly or similar mechanisms), but there is no way to set a specific database as read-only.

    Feature Request:

    Add a supported way to start a single MongoDB instance in read-only mode, regardless of the databases it hosts.
    Use case: allow devs/testers to read from preprod data without risking unwanted writes.

    This would help improve safety in shared environments without adding the overhead of setting up complex permissions or firewall rules.

    Thanks!

15. Dual Scroll in Query editor

    When you looking at a stage in the query builder it would be great to somehow have both sides scroll at the same time - input stage and output stage so I know that if I'm looking at doc 1 on input its also going to be doc 1 on output.

17. display Object value

    Hi

    My entities have an attributes property, which is an array of object.
    When looking for a specific object in the array in Compass, it's sometimes hard to find it, having to expand each object one by one.

    Is it possible to display the object content directly in the object's parent row ?
    e.g. displaying Object[name: "code", value: "10v30"]

    This would avoid having to expand each parent object to see its content.

    Best regards
    Mathias

19. Remember property expansions in json view when switching between tabs

    Minor UX improvement:

    Suppose I have 2 tabs open in Compass, and I'm looking at documents in the default "list view". In 1 tab, I expand a subdocument. I then navigate to the 2nd tab, and expand a subdocument there. If I go back to the 1st tab, the subdocument that I expanded remains expanded, as I would expect.

    In contrast, this same behavior does not occur in "JSON view". Suppose I'm in JSON view on the 1st tab, and I expand a subdocument. I navigate to the 2nd tab, then navigate back to the 1st tab. The subdocument that I had previously expanded on the 1st tab is no longer expanded.

    This is particularly annoying when comparing values between documents (especially when looking at relations), and when copying and pasting values between documents.
