Quick Generate

The fastest way to create release notes:

How to Use

1. Go to the Releases page
2. Click the Generate with AI button in the header
3. Wait for the AI to analyze your project and generate content
4. Review and edit the generated release notes as needed

What It Does

The AI analyzes your project's recent activity and automatically creates release notes that include:

• A professional title
• Organized content grouped by change type
• Version number suggestions
• An auto-generated excerpt

After Generation

Once generated, the release editor will open with:

• The generated content in the Preview tab
• All fields pre-filled
• Ready for you to review, edit, and publish

Custom Generation

Generate release notes based on your specific description:

How to Use

1. Click New Release to open the release editor
2. In the AI Content Generator section, click Generate with AI
3. Describe what this release is about in the text area
4. Optionally add a version number
5. Click Generate Release Content
6. Review and edit the generated content

Writing Effective Prompts

To get the best results, be specific and detailed in your description:

Good Examples

• "We've added dark mode support, improved performance by 40%, fixed several bugs with the authentication system, and added new dashboard features with interactive widgets."
• "This release includes a complete redesign of the user interface, new collaboration features, enhanced security with two-factor authentication, and significant performance improvements."
• "Version 2.0 brings major updates: new mobile app, improved API, bug fixes for payment processing, and enhanced analytics dashboard."

What to Include

• New features and capabilities
• Improvements and enhancements
• Bug fixes and patches
• Performance improvements (with specific metrics if possible)
• Any breaking changes or important notes

Tips for Better Results

• ✅ Be specific about what changed
• ✅ Include metrics when possible (e.g., "40% faster")
• ✅ Mention user-facing benefits, not just technical changes
• ✅ List multiple changes for a comprehensive release
• ✅ Include context about why changes were made

Reviewing Generated Content

After generation, always review the content:

What to Check

• Accuracy: Ensure all information is correct
• Completeness: Add any missing details
• Tone: Adjust the tone to match your brand
• Formatting: Check Markdown formatting is correct
• Structure: Reorganize if needed for better flow

Editing Generated Content

You can edit any part of the generated content:

• Modify the title
• Add or remove sections
• Adjust formatting
• Add more details
• Include images or links

When to Use AI Generation

AI generation is particularly useful when:

• You have many changes to document
• You want a professional structure quickly
• You need inspiration for how to present updates
• You're short on time but need comprehensive notes

When to Write Manually

Consider writing manually when:

• You have a very specific tone or style requirement
• The release is simple and straightforward
• You want complete control over every word
• You're documenting a very technical change

Combining Both Approaches

You can also combine AI generation with manual writing:

1. Use AI to generate the initial structure
2. Manually refine specific sections
3. Add personal touches and brand voice
4. Include custom details the AI might have missed

Next Steps

After generating your release notes:

• Add Highlighted Features to showcase key updates
• Publish your release to make it visible to users
• Review best practices for writing effective release notes
