Release Notes That Customers Actually Read
Most release notes go unread. Here is how to create notes that inform, engage, and build trust with your users.
The Release Notes Nobody Reads
You spend hours crafting release notes. Customers spend seconds ignoring them. What is going wrong?
The problem is not the format. It is the content. Technical changelogs do not resonate with users.
What Makes Release Notes Readable
Great release notes answer one question: What is in it for me?
Lead with benefits: Not just Added dark mode but Reduce eye strain with new dark mode.
Categorize clearly: New features, improvements, fixes. Users know where to look.
Link to details: Keep notes scannable, link to full documentation.
Be consistent: Same format every release builds familiarity.
