What the best changelog software does
It makes publishing release updates a habit: structured entries, a public page, in-product visibility, and ideally links back to the feature requests that shipped. Pretty templates without distribution still fail.
Standalone announce tools vs product workspaces
Announce-only tools shine at digests and widgets. All-in-one workspaces win when your changelog must stay tied to feedback and roadmap. Choose based on whether you already have that loop elsewhere.
Evaluation checklist
Can non-marketers publish? Is Keep a Changelog style easy? Does it appear in-app? Can you reference voted requests? Will your team still publish in month three?
