Celebrate what you’ve shipped. Communicate what’s coming. Close the loop with the people who care.
Cycle makes it easy to turn your roadmap into shareable, shippable release notes—and to publish a beautiful public changelog in just a few clicks.
A Release in Cycle is a collection of completed features grouped by a specific launch or milestone. Releases are where you write your product marketing, document impact, and notify relevant users.
You can:
Draft and edit release notes directly in Cycle
Link existing Features to a Release
Write each note with full context (quotes, feedback, status)
Mark the release as Ready once all notes are documented
Publish when you’re done—and close the loop automatically 🎯
Cycle brings the voice of the customer straight into your product marketing flow.
Start from scratch or link existing Features
Use quotes and feedback to tell the “why” behind each launch
Embed media (Arcade, Loom, Tella, YouTube) to demo new experiences
Draft confidently—even before release dates are final
Need to prep a note for something that’s still TBD? Use the “No Release” default bucket and assign it later.
Once all features in a release are marked Completed and notes are finalized:
Click Publish to make the release live.
Cycle will automatically notify:
Assignees of the features involved
Customers (if Slack or email updates are enabled)
The release appears instantly in your public changelog.
Need to ship a batch of updates?
Go to your roadmap view
Multi-select the relevant Features
Use the bulk action menu to link them to a specific release
This makes it easy to turn sprint completions into changelog-ready updates in seconds.
Your changelog isn’t just a list—it’s a product marketing asset.
Use Cycle’s built-in publishing tools to customize a public changelog page that matches your brand.
You can:
Choose from modern templates
Customize colors, fonts, tags, backgrounds
Add your logo, favicon, and domain
Decide whether to display Bugs & Improvements
Embed product demos and media directly into updates
Need a live link? Cycle hosts your changelog for you, or you can configure a custom domain via Workspace Settings → Releases.
Planning a roadmap for Q3? Use a future-dated release like “Q3 Roadmap” to:
Collect features that are on the horizon
Draft early product marketing
Share vision and progress internally or externally
This turns Cycle into a dynamic source of truth—across what’s been shipped and what’s planned.
Releases and changelogs help you tell the story behind your product. They make progress visible, customers happy, and your team proud of what they’ve built.
