Perform Account un-linking on behalf of your customers
Being able to proactively un-link your users when your access scopes change.
If for some reason you need to add a scope, you will have to tell your users to disable the skill and reconnect to allow access with the new scope in order to have access to your new features.
There should be a way to unlink all customers and force relogin for all existing customers so that they can re-login with the updated scopes

Help and instructions
When you send your skill for certification at amazon they say that if the skill is not certified they will send you feedback and instructions for how to fix those problems, but when you do what they. You submit again but it caused more problems. All I am saying is that when you fix the problem, you fix the problem. Also if its your first time doing any sort of programming then amazon should directly help you with your skill.

Show session status visually in Test Simulator
It’s not clear which state the tool is in during a conversational test.. It’s not clear when a skill session times out and whether default Echo or My Skill will answer your next utterance. It would be nice if the left panel had background shading to indicate you are in the default Echo or a My Skill session and to visually group a set of interactions to one session.

Show the invocation name, intent, slot, in Test Simulator
Pre-fill the utterance text input with the invocation launch such as "open cat facts". Users often jump straight to their intent, and many type "Alexa, " as well; this may steer them into the right usage pattern.
Above the Skill I/O panel on the right, display in bold font, the name of the Intent and any Slots that were heard. It is difficult to scroll down the big block of JSON input and hunt for these after every utterance. This would create a faster feedback loop as developers test various utterances.

Improvement suggestions
Hello, the new interface for Alexa skill is not as good as before, because
1. The session expired too soon, when user was just starting to fill the Utterance, it took time as user need to fill one by one ( before we can just fill it without pressing adding one. (When session expire, every utterances that I just keyed in went nothing!!! If Amazon wants to keep this UI, please adding the longer session expiression time!
2. Amazon has to choose if you really want to have developer interface or user interface especially this is called developer tool. However,…1 vote -

clear oauth token without disabling skill
I would like to be able to clear the oauth token so a user can logout with new credentials and get a different token. As described in https://forums.developer.amazon.com/questions/62270/how-to-do-log-out-or-invalidate-auth-token-in-alex.html
this is only possible if we disable then re-enable the skill, but then the userId would be lost and I would like to avoid that.1 vote -

Submission Information on Portal
Put submission history on the portal. Having this only in email is not the best way to communicate as multiple developers are often working on apps.

Show Skill name when editing
Please show the name of the Skill that I'm currently editing. It's nerve-racking to not get visual confirmation of which skill I'm editing when I have multiple Skills. Thanks!

Client Secret field validation is broken
Every time I try to save a value on the Build > Account Linking tab, Auth Code Grant, I have to re-enter the Client Secret, even if I'm not changing it. Please only make me enter it once.

Make Alexa Skill Test Console compatible with AVG.
The current skill test console appears to be incompatible with AVG.
I don't like having to choose between a protected system, and being able to test my skill.
For now, I will be repeatedly installing and uninstalling AVG as I need to do skill development. It's a hassle.

Custom Alexa metrics
Being able to emit custom metrics from your skill would be amazing. I want to know what words were used to fill slots so I can have a list of which were the most popular words used. Using one of your own examples, if a user used a Horoscope skill, you could see that Scorpio was requested 12 times this week.

UI Issue
Hi,
The black footer does not stay in the bottom of the page when I scroll up the page causing a weird experience.

Locales and Language Settings
Under the language settings options, you have a Remove button but when I try to remove from a locale that is already published I get a non-descript error saying unable to save. Amazon launched my skill to a locale I did not want, and now I have a lot of problems because of it. I should be able to remove a singular locale, especially if Amazon launched to it without my consent.

I prefer using Opera, and when working on my skills I am forced to open Chrome so the console can work decently.
Make it compatible with Opera, not only Chrome

Change User doesn't show all accounts
On the new Console, when I go to my profile, Change User, only 4 of the several accounts of the people I help with show up. Looks like there's a
max-width
property that's causing the last couple to get hidden.1 vote
