How to create Changelogs

Summary: Docy provides a dedicated "Changelogs" feature for documenting project updates. It offers a user-friendly design and intuitive interface for creating and displaying version-specific change logs.

Changelogs

A changelog is a log or record of all significant changes made to a project or product. It typically includes records of changes such as bug fixes, new features, changes to existing features, and additions or removals of content. Some open-source projects include a changelog as one of the top-level files in their distribution for transparency.

Traditionally, a changelog included all changes made to a project. However, the “Keep a Changelog” site now advocates that a changelog should not contain all changes but rather a curated, chronologically ordered list of notable changes for each project version.

Creating Changelogs in Docy

We have developed an interactive changelog system for you in the Docy – Documentation WordPress theme. Check out the design of the changelogs below –

How to create Changelogs

1. You will find a custom menu type named “Changelogs” in your WordPress admin dashboard. 
2. Navigate to Changelogs Add New

You can start adding you’re changelogs in versions by simply creating a new post by clicking ”Add New”.

After adding changelogs, you can publish the changelog for each version on the front end of your website in a streamlined layout. Use the available Elementor widget named “Changelogs” which can display the changelogs. Insert that widget into the page and select your newly created changelogs.
