Changelog

1. What is Changelog?
Not to reinvent the wheel, let's check Wikipedia:
A changelog is a log or record of all notable changes made to a project. The project is often a website or software project, and the changelog usually includes records of changes such as bug fixes, new features, etc.
Simply put, at ProdCamp changelog is a module that allows sharing a product's updates with its customer base.
2. How to share it?
There are two ways of how to share your updates:
2.1 Share it on your roadmap
Creating a new changelog record will enable the section on your public roadmap (considering it's shared publicly).
2.2 Changelog embeddable widget
Alternatively, you can share your changelog in the embeddable widget.
ProdCamp Changelog Widget
ProdCamp Changelog Widget
To get the most out of it, use both: the changelog on the public roadmap and as an embeddable widget.
3. How to get started with Changelog?
Create a changelog record
To create a record, go to the Changelog section on the main menu and click on "New entry".

You can create drafts and publish them when the time comes.
PRO Tip: To make your changelog more alive, consider adding animated GIF images.
​
4. Embedding Changelog in your app
1.Go to the products page and open your product.
2.Head over to Widgets and click on the Generate button.
3. Click on the first section with code called "Widgets SDK installation kit", it will copy the text to the clipboard and place it inside the <body> tag on your page.
It will look similar to the following code
1
    ...
2
    <script>!function(t,e,a,n){function o(){if(!e.getElementById(a)){var t=e.getElementsByTagName(n)[0],o=e.createElement(n);o.type="text/javascript",o.async=!0,o.src="https://cdn.prodcamp.com/js/prdcmp-sdk.js",t.parentNode.insertBefore(o,t)}}if("function"!=typeof t.ProdCamp){var c=function(){c.args.push(arguments)};c.t="********",c.p="************",c.args=[],c.f=true,t.ProdCamp=c,"complete"===e.readyState?o():t.attachEvent?t.attachEvent("onload",o):t.addEventListener("load",o,!1)}}(window,document,"prodcamp-js","script");</script>
3
    ...
4
</body>
Copied!

4. Init the changelog widget on the page.
1
<script>
2
    ProdCamp('initChangelog');
3
</script>
Copied!
​
For example, here's what was needed to add a changelog button to our recent blog post:
1
<div style='display: flex; justify-content: center;'>
2
	<a data-prodcamp-changelog="true" href="#" class="button-copy primary-copy button-small-copy button-cta-first-copy w-button">PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CLICK HERE</a>
3
</div>
4
...
5
<script>
6
    ProdCamp('initChangelog');
7
</script>
Copied!
