We have the roadmap to tell users what's coming. What about an official changelog to communicate what's recently changed?
We'd probably add a "under review" status, change the roadmap columns to [under review, planned, in progress], and then move "complete" to the changelog.
Hi Canny Team, images are not copied from word doc to changelog entry, is this a bug or not coded at all..
How do we get access to the changelog beta?
@Alex Richards: Hey Alex, we sent out a message via Intercom a few weeks ago, but I just added you!
Hey @Andrew Rasmussen, I'm just trialing the Beta (it's awesome!) and I'm wondering if an in-product widget for updates is on the roadmap?
I agree with @Nathan Kettles - Product Manager's comment about Intercom's Product Changes. I've been looking for something similar.
@Brooke Royston: Yep, we're working on the widget now. Stay tuned!
@Andrew Rasmussen: Brilliant! I can't wait :D
I am quite looking forward to this. We currently use Canny and I love it's simplicity. Recently we've definitely felt the need to have a release announcement centre and/or product changelog.
I think Intercom do this absolutely brilliantly, but it seems like a self-built feature: https://app.intercom.io/a/changes
Looking forward to what Canny does in this space!
We are currently working on this and are looking for beta testers! Shoot us a message if you want in.
@Sarah Hum: I'd be interested.
@Kris (AMS): You're on the list 👍
@Sarah Hum: Hey, we at Yoco would love to join the beta!
@Nathan Kettles - Product Manager: You got it!
@Sarah Hum: could you extend my trial period and enable changelog?
You got it @alex
@Sarah Hum: thank you so much, i'll test it
@Sarah Hum: I'd love to be involved with this :)
@John McMahon: You're in!
@Sarah Hum: Please add me in beta stream
Hi, here are some specifications that I would love to see with this new integration:
* Categorize by release (Allow to add a tag to completed posts like v3.10 or any other text)
* Select the post to add to the changelog (Not all posts are features or bug reports, some are just questions that would prefer to not show there)
Thanks for working to make this product better!
Hi all! We're excited to start working on a changelog feature within Canny. If you have ideas for how you'd like this to work, we want to hear it!
Special thanks to everyone that has already given us their thoughts.
I would love to use this tool to announce to my customers when we have deployed a new release, and then associate the posts to that release that were addressed/included in the release.
I would want my customers to subscribe to these announcements rather than spamming them every time.
Canny needs this to stay ahead of other similar tools - I still think Canny has superior UX, integrations, and workflows, but this is a huge missing puzzle piece that I have to go elsewhere to figure out.
Hey @Michael Felix, the team is actually in talks about doing this at the moment. Nothing official but definitely promising. We'll update this thread so stay tuned! Shoot us a message or leave another comment if you have specific thoughts on how you'd like this to work.
Couldn't agree more! It's great to instant update users on certain features, but it would be great if you could pull in completed posts into one big email to all users. The option would be great!
@Adrian Anandarajah: +1 At present, I have to separately document any updates and send out an email. If Canny allowed me to somehow "Announce" releases and bug fixes, that would save me a lot of time. Even if it was just in the form of a release log that would be super helpful.
I love that there's a beta for this, but one thing I would suggest is not to call it a changelog. Many users may not understand the term "changelog" I would suggest maybe calling "What's New" or "Site Updates" or possibly let us be able to customize the name. :)
