Public Changelog Page

Create a public-facing changelog page to share product updates with your users and the world.

What is the Public Changelog?

The public changelog is a standalone webpage that displays all your published changelog entries. Unlike the in-app widget, it's accessible to anyone with the link - no login required.

Example URL: https://app.cueflow.so/changelog/your-company
