The Upvote Component in IdeaBoard helps teams prioritize ideas quickly and visually. It allows you to list multiple ideas, suggestions, or options in one structured block, where team members can cast votes to indicate preference or importance.

Instead of manually counting sticky notes or reactions, the Upvote Component makes decision-making simple, transparent, and collaborative.
