Overview
The Canny changelog is a great way for your team to officially announce product updates. Your users will be able to view all your release updates on a single, unified page! 📣
Create a changelog entry
Head to the Changelog tab in Canny and click on Create a new entry
The changelog supports markdown for text, so you can use markdown notation and upload images.
For images, Canny sets the maximum height in the changelog to 400px. The ratio of the image stays the same, so depending on the height:width ratio of the image, when the height is set to 400px, the width will take on the appropriate size based on the ratio.

The Changelog widget
Embed a widget with your changelog directly into your product, just like you see in Canny:
Here's an example of how that may look in your product!:

You can also filter the changelog widget to only show entries for specified label IDs. This is great for when you have separate products and want to display a different changelog widget for each.
To get started, head to our widget customization docs here under "Filter the changelog".
Changelog Privacy
Accounts on the Growth and Business plans have the option to limit changelog visibility, similar to the options for a custom access board. This can be toggled from the changelog privacy tab in your settings:
