Overview

What is Changelog?

Changelog is the module for keeping people informed. It gives you a single place to write, organize, and publish entries about what's changed — whether that's a new product feature, a policy update, or a scheduled system outage — so your audience always knows what's new and what to expect.

Who uses Changelog?

• IT managers publishing updates about internal systems, tools, or policy changes so staff stay current
• IT service desk leads announcing planned maintenance and outages company-wide, ahead of time
• Product managers publishing customer-facing release notes to keep users informed about new features and fixes
• Editors and Members who draft and maintain entries as part of their regular workflow
• Viewers who need read-only access to stay in the loop without editing rights
• Admins who manage settings, subscribers, and overall access to the module

Works with the rest of Metadot

• Anyone mentioned or notified through an entry is recognized as the same person you already know from other modules — no need to re-enter contacts or subscribers.
• Publishing an entry can kick off an automation, like sending a notification email or updating a related record, so your announcements reach people without extra manual work.
• Every entry you publish is findable from workspace-wide search, so past updates and release notes are easy to track down later.
