Changelog page overview

The Changelog is a public page where you announce product updates to users. All release updates appear on a single page, organized chronologically.

Announcements​

Published announcements appear in reverse chronological order, with the latest updates at the top.

An Announcement is the public description of a feature you present to users. Write an announcement in advance, approve it, and once the Idea is moved to Done, the announcement appears on the Changelog.
