Category ideas

Depending on your product, you might want categories like:
  • Security — Security patches and updates
  • API — API changes and additions
  • Performance — Speed and reliability improvements
  • Beta — Features in beta testing
  • Deprecation — Features being removed
  • Integration — Third-party integrations

​
Using categories

When creating an announcement, select a category from the dropdown above the editor.
Categories are optional. If you don’t select one, the announcement will appear without a category tag.

​
Editing and deleting categories

To edit or delete a category:
  1. Go to Settings → Changelog → Categories
  2. Click the … menu next to the category
  3. Choose Edit or Delete
Deleting a category will remove it from all existing announcements. The announcements themselves won’t be deleted.

​

Your users can filter your changelog by category using the filter buttons at the top of your portal. [TODO: ADD IMAGE - CATEGORY FILTER BUTTONS ON PORTAL]
