AI Changelog

What is an Entry?

An entry is a changelog entry: a product update shared with users. Each entry has:

• Title: short, user-friendly title
• Content: body in rich text (Tiptap editor with Markdown + visual toolbar)
• Category: new, improvement, fix, breaking, deprecated, security
• Tags: free-form tags (e.g., ui, api, performance)
• Version: optional (e.g., v2.4.0)
• Status: draft, published, scheduled
• Cover image: optional
• Excerpt: short summary auto-generated by AI

1. Dashboard → "New Entry" (or shortcut Ctrl+N / ⌘+N)
2. Fill in the title
3. Write content in the rich text editor

AI method (recommended)

AI Generation — How It Works

The AI (Claude by Anthropic) analyzes your raw notes and:

• Groups changes by category (New, Improvement, Fix, Security...)
• Transforms technical jargon into understandable sentences
• Automatically excludes items not relevant to users (chore, refactor, dependencies)
• Generates a catchy title and excerpt

Example

Raw input:

feat: add dark mode toggle to settings
fix: resolve timezone offset in analytics dashboard
feat: CSV export for user reports

fix: correct currency formatting for JPY

AI output:

Rich Text Editor

The editor is built on Tiptap (ProseMirror). It supports:

• Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough
• Headings (H2, H3)
• Bullet list, Ordered list
• Code block with syntax highlighting
• Images (upload to ReleaseGlow CDN, max 10MB, drag & drop or paste)
• Links
• Blockquote
• Horizontal rule

The editor also accepts direct Markdown input (e.g., type ## for an H2).

Categories and Labels

Default categories

Custom labels: Create additional labels in Project Settings → Labels (e.g., Beta, Performance, API). Each label has a name and a color.

Scheduling

When creating or editing an entry:

1. Click the calendar icon next to the "Publish" button
2. Select a publication date and time
3. The entry switches to scheduled status
4. It will be automatically published at the defined time (server-side cron)

Scheduled entries are visible in the dashboard with a "Scheduled" badge and the planned date.

Translate your entries into multiple languages with AI:

1. Open a published or draft entry
2. "Translations" section at the bottom of the editor
3. Click "Generate" next to the desired language (FR, ES, DE, PT, JA, ZH...)
4. AI translates the title, content, and excerpt
5. You can manually edit the translation

AI preserves product names, technical terms (API, webhook...) and adapts idiomatic expressions.

Drafts and Collaboration

• All entries start as drafts
• Drafts are never visible to end-users (not in widget, not on public page)
