Share your public changelog
Control public release-note visibility, language and platform views, and search indexing.
Your public changelog shows published release notes at /changelog/ followed by your app's slug. Anyone with the link can open it while the public page is enabled.
Enable and open the page
Enabling the page exposes the app's published release history. Check that the notes and app details are suitable for public viewing before saving.
- Open Apps and choose your app.
- Select Public changelog.
- Turn on Public page enabled.
- Choose whether to turn on Allow search indexing.
- Select Save changes and check for Changes saved.
- Select Preview public page to open the page in a new tab. Copy its URL to share it.
Preview public page opens the real public URL. It is not a private preview and does not show draft releases. If the page is disabled, the same link returns a not-found page.
An enabled page with no published targets shows No releases yet. To add release notes, publish a platform target.
What appears on the page
The header uses the app's name, description, and icon. Saved links appear as Website, App Store, and Google Play. Update these details in the app's Settings. See manage apps.
Release entries show the visible version, publication date, published platform badges, and release notes. Draft targets and deleted releases do not appear. If only iOS is published, Android stays out of that release's public history until you publish it.
The page orders releases by publication date, newest first. In All, a release with both platforms published appears once, using the later publication date of its currently published targets. In a platform-specific view, it uses that target's publication date. Republishing a target keeps its original date.
This ordering differs from update decisions inside the app, which use the highest published build number. Changing a version label does not make that release the latest update.
Choose a platform and language
- All shows releases with at least one published target and uses shared notes.
- iOS shows published iOS targets and uses the iOS override when available.
- Android shows published Android targets and uses the Android override when available.
- Language changes the requested locale. Release notes fall back when that release has no matching translation.
The page initially uses the browser's requested language unless the URL already specifies one. Platform and language selections update the URL, so you can copy the resulting link to share that view.
The language list comes from translations on published releases. It is not a promise that every release or platform has content in every listed language. See translation and fallback rules.
Search indexing is separate from access
Allow search indexing controls whether VibeUpdate permits search engines to index the public page. It does not make the page private when turned off, and enabling it does not guarantee inclusion in search results.
To keep a link-shareable page out of indexing, leave Public page enabled on and turn Allow search indexing off, then select Save changes. Anyone with the URL can still read it.
Hide the public page
- Open the app's Public changelog tab.
- Turn off Public page enabled.
- Select Save changes.
The public URL now returns a not-found page. This setting does not unpublish targets or stop their update information from being available inside the app.
To withdraw one platform's release notes and update information instead, unpublish that target. Deleting a release removes all its targets from public history. Deleting the app makes its public page unavailable too.
Change the public address
The app's Slug in Settings determines its public address. After changing the slug and saving, Preview public page opens the new address. Previous slugs redirect to the current one while the app and public page remain available.
Use the new address when sharing future links. Changing the slug does not rename the app or change its visible release versions.
