I am looking into a Changelog slash Release Notes solution that can be used with any Jira project, and not limited to Jira software version. I keep admiring the release notes and changelogs on some of the Atlassian sites, and I am wondering how to recreate such in Confluence and/or Jira? :)
Like admin.atlassian.com > Products > Product updates and https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/changelog/
Why is Atlassian hogging some of the cool stuff and not making available to paying licenses? :p
Hey @Melanie Pasztor
We felt the same frustration! And we found none of the existing tools integrated well enough with Jira. That's why we built one, it's called Released.
You can find Released on the Atlassian marketplace.
To summarize, Released can take any Jira tickets (not limited to versions) and generate great looking release notes for you. You can publish them with a click of a button to your website, app, Slack or Confluence.
Here is what our own changelog looks like: https://released.so/changelog
Let me know if this is what you are looking for.
Hi @Melanie Pasztor,
Thanks for your feedback on our changelog solution. I understand your frustration, but to give you a sense of why this is a challenge, here’s an overview of our changelog solution:
You can see from the above, there are some concepts and tools that is generic and could be shared, but there is also Atlassian specific components that are less valuable to share.
I should mention, however, there are changelog apps in the Atlassian Marketplace which you may like to check out.
Regards,
Dugald

I suggest creating a template for your releass (with some label like "release-notes") and then a page properties (macro) (table) for the key info you want in the overview (i.e. Date, Name, Goal...)
Then have the overview page display the key info with the page properties report (macro) so you have an overview of all releases.
Then you can pick up things from Jira as needed with macros.
This will enable you to have an overview of releases in much more flexible and human readable way than Jira gives you. Sure it is more manual work, but I also suggest that you treat your release (notes) as the valuable document it is (maybe the most valuable part of the release?) and give it some love ;)

It's probably just a Confluence page with some of their page elements. Open up a Confluence page, add your title, then in the body, hit forward slash and then look at things like "Filter by label" or "Live search" as well as "Insert excerpt" to give you an idea of what you can do.
My guess is that they are creating each date and chunk of data as an Excerpt on another page, then using the Insert excerpt on the changelog page to bring the data in.
