Product updates

We have removed the description field from the ReleaseType.

Our new Article editor will allow you to draft and save a rich text document that can be published when you are ready to share. The article has native support for embedded images and videos.

As always, we would love to get your feedback!

The subscribe button on public pages now keeps track of whether your public subscribers are logged in or not. If they are logged in, the button’s text changes from ‘Subscribe to updates’ to ‘Manage your subscription’ and takes them directly to their management page.

The toggle for release visibility will be replaced with an add/remove pattern. The controls will also move from the gutter into the main body of content on the release page.

Our new public page design system will make your public pages more approachable and impactful. Releases will be easier to find and groups of releases will be easier to scan.

The release summary will no longer be included in team and public note notifications. We felt that this was distracting from the note content.

If you have access to multiple projects and organizations, you now have a much cleaner organization / project switcher. This can be found under your user dropdown by clicking Switch organizations.

Passing a name instead of an ID in a category object when creating a release will now find or create a category of that name and associate it with the new release.

mutation CreateRelease($projectId: ID!) {
  createRelease(input: {
    release: {
      projectId: $projectId,
      name: "My fancy new release",
      summary: "A great release summary",
      categories: [{ name: "new category" }, { id: "cat_S1BYrPgYYNVtF" }]
    }
  }) {
    release {
      id
    }
  }
}

Project views now have a new check box that can be used to hide certain views from your public project page. This is great for teams that would like to only show certain views to their customers, like “Complete,” but would like deeper organization on their internal page.

Optimize your content for search and sharing. With our new sharing and SEO controls, you can take control of how your public LaunchNotes page looks in search and when sharing across platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn and Slack.
