How we write release notes that drive action.

Our notes are short, role-aware, and include explicit next steps.

Team reviewing release notes
Release notes should tell teams exactly what changed and what to watch.

What we include

  • Plain-language summary

    One or two sentences anyone can understand.

  • Impact by role

    Admins, coordinators, and managers each get a note on how to adapt.

  • Rollout action

    Clear instructions: enable, review, or monitor.

Why it matters

Release notes are not marketing copy—they’re operational instructions.

Operational depth

Treat individual posts as decision records tied to operational behavior

Each post page should stand alone with enough context to explain the problem addressed, choices made, and expected execution outcomes.

Decision focus

Operational risk

Reading posts without implementation context can lead to partial or mis-timed changes
