Roadmap and Changelog
Keep your users informed about what you're building and what's been released. Voxifly's roadmap and changelog features help you communicate progress transparently.
What you'll learn
- Moving issues to the roadmap
- Publishing issues to the changelog
- Creating manual changelog entries
- Managing release timelines
Roadmap
The roadmap shows users what you're working on and what's coming next. It's automatically populated based on your issue statuses.
How it works
- Status-based display - Issues appear in roadmap based on their status
- Kanban-style layout - Visual columns for each status
- Drag-and-drop - Team members can move issues between statuses
- Public visibility - Users can see progress without admin access
Configuring roadmap visibility
- Go to Project Settings → Statuses
- For each status, toggle "Show in roadmap"
- Only enabled statuses will appear on the public roadmap
- Reorder statuses to control column sequence
Changelog
The changelog keeps users updated on what's been released and when.
Publishing issues to changelog
- Automatic publishing - Enable "Publish to changelog" for specific statuses
- Manual publishing - Select issues to publish individually
- Release dates - Set when features were released
- Featured entries - Highlight important updates
Creating manual changelog entries
Sometimes you want to announce updates that aren't tied to specific issues:
- Go to Changelog section
- Click "Create Entry"
- Fill in details:
- Title: What was released
- Description: Detailed explanation
- Release date: When it went live
- Tags: Categorize the update
- Featured: Highlight important releases
- Publish when ready
Best practices
Roadmap
- Keep roadmap updated regularly
- Use clear status names that users understand

- Update issue statuses as work progresses
Changelog
- Publish updates promptly after releases
- Use consistent formatting and tone
- Include both major features and small improvements
- Use tags to categorize different types of updates
