Platform Discovery gives your organization a unified view of every Contentstack capability, organized into feature cards on a single dashboard. Each card shows whether a feature is in active use, enabled but inactive, or unavailable on your current plan.

Platform Discovery acts as a command center for maximizing platform value and return on investment (ROI).

The dashboard provides visibility into:

• Features currently being used across your organization.
• Features enabled but not actively used.
• Features that require a plan upgrade.
• Business impact areas supported by each capability.

Platform Discovery helps teams identify opportunities to improve operational efficiency, accelerate delivery timelines, and maximize platform adoption.

Platform Discovery helps organizations:

• Maximize ROI by identifying underused capabilities.
• Reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) by consolidating tooling.
• Improve feature awareness across technical and business teams.
• Connect platform capabilities directly to business outcomes.
• Create a clearer roadmap for platform expansion and digital maturity.

To access the Platform Discovery dashboard:

1. Open “App Switcher” in the top navigation bar.
2. Select Platform Discovery.

The Platform Discovery dashboard appears.

The dashboard displays feature cards representing available Contentstack capabilities.

Each card includes:

• Feature name
• Current usage status (Active, No Recent Activity, or Requires Plan Upgrade)
• Short feature description
• Impact area alignment
• Additional learning resources
• Feature-specific activity definitions

You can use the dashboard to quickly understand which capabilities are actively contributing to your organization’s workflows and which features may require additional adoption.

Each feature card displays one of the following statuses:

• Active: Indicates recent qualifying usage or configuration activity.
• No Recent Activity: Indicates the feature is enabled but has not shown recent activity.
• Requires Plan Upgrade: Indicates the feature is unavailable in the current subscription plan.

These visual indicators help teams quickly identify realized value, adoption opportunities, and expansion opportunities.
