Creating Release Notes

Keeping users informed about updates, bug fixes, and new features is essential. The Documentation theme makes it easy to create structured, professional release notes.


📦 How to Create Release Notes:

  1. Create a New Page
    • Go to Pages > Add New.
    • Title it clearly (e.g., Version 2.1.0 – April 2025).
  2. Apply the Release Notes Template
    • In the Page settings (right sidebar), select the Release Notes template.
  3. Organize Content
    Use headings (H3) for each category:
    • 🚀 New Features
    • 🛠 Improvements
    • 🐞 Bug Fixes
    • ⚙ Technical Changes
