🪦🕯 Don’t Let Your Release Notes Rest in Peace

Some new software releases can feel like opening a crypt – 🕷️ bugs rising from the grave, 🧟 new features unleashed, 👻 and a few spooky surprises no one saw coming. But there’s one thing even more terrifying than a release gone wrong: a release that users don’t even know about. 😱

At K15t (the makers of Scroll Content Tools for Confluence and Backbone Work Sync for Jira), we believe your users should know what bugs have been vanquished, which features have risen, and how your product has evolved. Yet many teams don’t share release notes at all. They fix, improve, and ship great things… but the story stays buried deep in Confluence pages, Jira tickets or developer chats.

That’s a grave mistake.

Release notes aren’t just a nice-to-have – they’re a way of communicating progress, celebrating improvements, and building trust with your users. They show that your product is alive, evolving, and cared for.

So how can you bring your release notes to life?

🕯 Enter Scroll Apps for Confluence

With our newest app Scroll Sites, you can publish your release notes directly to your help center or knowledge base. They’ll be easy to browse, include all the different types of media you need (e.g. videos, images) and accessible for all of your users. Instead of letting updates vanish into the dark, your users can see exactly what’s new in each release, right where they already look for help content.

And for those who prefer to send release notes straight to their users (or for safe-keeping in the offline crypt 👀), Scroll PDF Exporter and Scroll Word Exporter make it easy to export polished, on-brand release notes from Confluence as PDF or Word documents.

Our new Release Notes Template (for Scroll PDF Exporter only) helps you present updates clearly and consistently – perfect for internal stakeholders or customer announcements.

🧛 Keep Your Updates Alive

Whether you publish your team’s release notes online or send them to users as an offline file, release notes created with the Scroll Content Tools are far from lifeless. They’re discoverable, professional, and can easily be part your consistent communication flow.

So this Apptoberfest (and beyond), don’t let your release notes stay buried in Confluence – share them using Scroll Content Tools for Confluence and show your users what’s new, what’s fixed, and what’s next.
