"Improved the settings page" tells a user almost nothing. A release note with a linked, screenshot-led guide showing the before and after answers the actual question users have: what's different, and do I need to change how I work. Guidyy makes that pairing cheap — record the new flow once while you're already testing the release, and you have both the internal QA reference and the public-facing walkthrough from the same recording.
Product Release Documentation
Release Notes That Show the Change Instead of Just Describing It
Pair every changelog entry with a 30-second screenshot walkthrough so users see exactly what changed instead of guessing from a one-line description.
01
The release notes most users skip vs the ones they read
Skipped: a paragraph of feature names and ticket numbers. Read: a short list grouped by Added/Fixed/Changed, each linking to a guide when the change is visual enough to need showing rather than telling.
02
Building this into your release process
Record the new or changed flow during your own QA pass on the release candidate — you're clicking through it anyway. That recording becomes both your internal verification and the public release note guide.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a guide for every release note entry?+
No — only for changes with a visual or workflow component. A backend performance fix doesn't need one; a redesigned settings page does.
