The Changelog allows you to announce and document product updates, new features, bug fixes, and other important changes in a clear, engaging, and accessible way for your users. Unlike traditional, developer-focused changelogs, Beamer’s changelog is designed to be user-friendly and visually appealing, often embedded directly into your app or website as a sidebar, widget, or standalone page.
The Changelog helps product managers, marketers, and developers improve communication, increase engagement, and provide transparency about ongoing product development. They are particularly valuable for SaaS companies aiming to keep users informed and invested in the product’s evolution.
Changelog benefits
Centralized communication: The changelog acts as a central hub for users to see all recent product changes, updates, and announcements, ensuring they stay informed even if they miss emails or other notifications.
User engagement: Incorporates visuals (images, GIFs, videos), interactive elements (comments, reactions), and calls-to-action to boost user interest and encourage feedback.
Segmentation and targeting: Allows updates to be shown to specific user groups based on attributes like role, behavior, or demographics, ensuring relevance.
In-app notifications: Supports in-app banners, pop-ups, and notifications to alert users to new updates directly within the product experience.
Integration and customization: Can be integrated with other tools (e.g., via API, webhooks, or plugins) and customized to match the branding and design of the host product or website.
Feedback collection: Enables users to leave comments and reactions, helping teams gather direct feedback on updates and improvements.
