Enable Changelog

PinkDocs comes with a native, beautifully designed changelog system—so your users always know what’s new, improved, or fixed.

No extra plugins. No manual pages. Just updates that look premium by default.

2. Toggle Enable Changelog to ON
3. Click Save Settings

That’s it.

Other Changelog Features

Filter Panel

The Filter Changes panel helps you quickly narrow down what kind of updates you want to see in the changelog, instead of scrolling through everything.

Here’s how each option works:

• All Changes
  Shows everything in the changelog — new features, improvements, and bug fixes combined.
  The number badge (e.g. 51) shows the total count of changes available.
• New Features
  Displays only brand-new functionality that was added.
  Use this to quickly spot major updates or newly introduced tools.
• Improvements
  Shows enhancements to existing features — performance boosts, UX refinements, better defaults, or expanded capabilities.
• Bug Fixes
  Lists only resolved issues and fixes.
  Useful if you’re checking whether a specific problem you faced has been addressed.

Emoji reactions

Why this is useful:

• Helps you see which updates users care about most
• Acts as lightweight feedback without comments
• Great for prioritizing future improvements

Why is Changelog important

• Lets users scan updates faster
• Helps different audiences (users vs devs) focus on what matters to them
• Makes the changelog feel less noisy and more structured

Your Changelog, Instantly Live

• A dedicated changelog page is automatically created
• Example URL:
  https://yourwebsite.com/docs/changelog/
• The page is automatically added to the header menu as the last item

Your updates are instantly visible and easy to find.

Adding & Editing Changelog Versions

PinkDocs makes managing your changelog simple, structured, and fast—so updating users never feels like a chore.

How to Add a New Version

1. Go to PinkDocs → Changelog
2. Click Add Version
3. Enter the version number (for example, 1.2.0)
4. Select the release date
5. Start adding individual change items

That’s it—your new release is ready to publish.

How to Add Features or Changes

Inside each version, you can add multiple change items:

• Click Add Item
• Choose the change type:
  • New
  • Improved
  • Fixed
• Write a short, clear description of the update

Each item is displayed as a clean, readable entry on the changelog page.

Editing Existing Versions

You can update your changelog at any time:

• Modify version numbers or dates
• Edit feature descriptions
• Change the update type (New, Improved, Fixed)
• Reorder items for better clarity
• Remove outdated entries

All changes are reflected instantly on the frontend.

How to add image

1. Open Version Logs and edit the version where you want to add the image.
2. Find the specific change item you want to attach the image to.
3. Click the image (🖼️) icon on the right side of that change row.
4. Upload a new image or select one from the media library.
5. Confirm the selection.
6. Click Save Settings to apply the changes.

How To Add Documentation link

• Go to PinkDocs → Version Logs from your WordPress dashboard.
• Click Add Version or open an existing version you want to edit.
• Under the Changes section, add a new changelog item or use an existing one.
• On the right side of that changelog row, click inside the “Link to doc…” field or click the document icon next to it.
• A search popup will open. Start typing the documentation title or keyword (for example: header, theme, slug, typography).
• Select the correct documentation page from the search results.
• The selected documentation will automatically be linked to that changelog item.
• Click Save Settings to store the changes.

Best Practices for Great Changelogs

• Keep entries short and user-focused
• Highlight major features first
• Group related changes under one version
• Update consistently with every release

The changelog entry will now display a clickable documentation link for users.
