Creating your first changelog

A changelog is a chronological list of changes made to a product. It's a great way to keep your users informed about new features, improvements, and bug fixes.

  1. From the main navigation, click "Changelog".

  2. Click on the "New post" button.

  3. A modal will appear, prompting you to create a new changelog post.

  4. Title: Give your changelog entry a clear and concise title (e.g., "Introducing dark mode," "Improved search functionality," "Bug fixes and Performance enhancements").

  5. Labels: Select one or more of the changelog labels you created (e.g., "New feature," "Bug fix") to categorize this entry.

  6. Changelog details: Write a detailed explanation of the update. Be clear about what's new, what's improved, or what's been fixed. You can often use rich text formatting (bolding, lists, links) here.

  7. Associated feedback (optional): Tallyfeed allows you to link changelog entries to specific feedback items on your boards, providing a direct connection between user suggestions and implemented changes.

  8. Click "Publish" or "Save as draft" to add your changelog entry.

  9. Your changelog will now be visible to your users on your public changelog page.

  10. On the right side of the changelog page, there’s a filtering section where you can search the changelog by: 

    • Typing out a specific changelog post

    • Date created, click on the drop down menu for options

    • Changelog label
