Publishing your changelog

Everything that happens when you hit publish — public URL, SEO, and how to link from your product.

Every release you publish gets a stable public URL at your-workspace.releasedog.com. This page explains what happens at publish time and how to get the most out of it.

The public changelog

Your workspace subdomain serves the full changelog — every release you publish appears there, newest first. Each individual release also has its own permalink, so support, sales, and your own docs can link straight to a specific entry.

SEO out of the box

Releasedog renders your changelog as fully server-rendered HTML with per-release metadata, an RSS feed, and a sitemap. Search engines index it the same way they'd index any blog. No extra setup.

Linking from your product

Add a What's newlink in your app's nav pointing to your changelog URL. If you want an in-app widget instead, embed the RSS feed or use the JSON endpoint at /api/releases.json on your workspace subdomain.

Editing after publish

You can edit a published release — typos, clarifications, a missed fix. The URL stays the same. For larger changes, publish a follow-up rather than rewriting history; your readers may have already seen the original.

Unpublishing

From the release page in the dashboard, use Unpublish to move a release back to draft. The public URL returns a 404 until you republish.
