Changelog
Learn how to use the ProductBridge Changelog to publish product updates, announce new features, and keep your users informed about what is new.
Keep Users in the Loop
The Changelog is your public-facing feed for product updates. Announce new features, improvements, bug fixes, and breaking changes in a structured, browsable format. Users can follow your changelog to stay informed, and you close the feedback loop by showing that their input drives real product changes.
Publishing an Update
Create a New Entry
Navigate to the Changelog tab and click New Entry. Enter a title that clearly describes the update (e.g., "New: Bulk feedback export" or "Fix: Dashboard loading performance").
Write the Details
Add a description covering what changed, why it matters, and any action users need to take. Use markdown formatting for clarity — headings, bullet points, and code blocks are all supported.
Tag and Categorize
Add tags to categorize the entry:
- New Feature — Entirely new capabilities
- Improvement — Enhancements to existing features
- Bug Fix — Resolved issues
- Breaking Change — Changes that require user action
You can also link the entry to the roadmap item it fulfills.
Publish
Click Publish to make the entry live. Subscribed users receive a notification, and the entry appears on your public changelog page.
Changelog Page
Your changelog is accessible at a public URL like https://changelog.productbridge.com/your-project. The page displays entries in reverse chronological order, with filtering by tag and a search bar.
Embed your changelog directly in your app using the changelog widget. Users see updates without leaving your product.
Linking Changelog to Feedback
When you publish a changelog entry for a feature that users requested, ProductBridge can automatically notify everyone who submitted or voted on the related feedback. This closes the loop and shows users their voice matters.
If the changelog entry is linked to a roadmap item with feedback, ProductBridge sends notifications to users who contributed that feedback. Notifications go via email or in-app, depending on user preferences.
You can manually link a changelog entry to specific feedback items or roadmap entries. Click Link Feedback in the entry editor to search and attach relevant items.
Scheduling and Drafts
Not ready to publish yet? Save entries as drafts and schedule them for later:
- Drafts — Work on entries without publishing. Only team members can see drafts.
- Scheduled Publishing — Set a date and time for automatic publishing. Useful for coordinating announcements with releases.
Scheduled entries publish at the time you set, regardless of timezone. All times are displayed in UTC in the scheduler to avoid confusion.
