    Tickets/Topics
    
     * Add the possibility to save and load custom predefined settings for
       Text Import in Calc
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156879
       + Data Provider could be a solution, though it's experimental (Heiko)
       + can follow the use case (Eyal, Cor)
         + possible solution is to remember the last settings (Eyal)
         + in a first solution we could just remember the checkboxes
         + previous column types could be used if the number matches
         + does not clutter the UI (Heiko)
       + to load presets could be done too but would be a heavy interaction
         and kind of over-engineering
       + multi-selection of columns to batch apply a type is helpful
         too - which is possible in the current version (Cor)
     => remember the last settings, if multi-selection is not sufficient
    
     * UI Feature Request: Possibility to hide a page like in Impress
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156802
       + can follow the use case (Stephane)
       + always possible to exclude pages on printing/exporting
         to PDF (Regina, Cor, John)
       + against "hide" because of the semantics but agree with
         means to remember a print range (Eyal)
     => resolve WF and suggest to file a new ticket for print range
    
     * AUTOFILTER : Doesn't work with 2 words like "CP" and "Mi-CP" or "MiCP"
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157878
       + Tools/Options/Calc/Calculate:Apply to whole cells should do
         the trick (Miguel)
       + AutoFilter should be independent of that option (Eike)
       + always compare the autofilter against the entire cell; the fuzzy
         search/filter could be done by multi-selecting *CP* per search
         for CP
     => change the behavior to always apply the autofilter to the
        entire cell
    
     * PDF restrictions in signed PDF documents
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143134
       + it's normal that you cannot add comments in signed file (Timur)
       + non example for the opposite; signed document should stay
         unchanged (Heiko)
       + some environments exist where the signed document has an attached
         commenting workflow; will ask on the ticket (Cor)
       + it might be a flag to allow comments in signed PDFs (Hossein)
         + possible with Adobe software (Cor)
     => not a topic for UX
    
     * Ability to navigate via viewing area on charts
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138509
       + good for an extension (Jean-Baptiste)
       + 1. Ability to Zoom in
         + good idea (Eyal, John, Cor)
         + over-engineering; advanced chart functions are better suited
           for specialized tools (Heiko)
       + 2. Ability to Select data range
         + same as above (Heiko)
         + support this too (Eyal, John, Cor)
       + if we want to improve on this area we should include R with
         some libraries
     * Ability to hover on charts to quickly visualize details
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138510
       + we do show tooltips, but chart needs to be in edit mode (Heiko)
       + good idea, maybe worth a META ticket (Eyal)
     => comment
    
    * Tabbed interface: Overflow the tabbed interface to scroll/flip instead
      of a popup
      + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158123
      + Importance of making tabbed feature usable on different
        screen size (Hossein)
      + alternative overflow mechanism has pro and cons (Heiko)
