You can change the feedback status to In review, Planned, In-progress, Complete, or Answered.

The Planned, In-progress, and Complete feedback will be displayed on the Roadmap page.

Users can now select a label when leaving feedback. Available labels:

• Bug: for reporting bugs
• Question: for asking questions
• Request: for requesting features

Users can now leave feedback on your page.

The default homepage is at https://www.updote.com/you, and the feedback board is at https://www.updote.com/you/feedback.

If you have a custom domain, the board is at https://build.example.com/feedback. It's a great place to collect your users' feedback and feature requests.

Updote will send you notifications when someone comments on your posts. Click on the message icon to view the latest notifications.

If you log in using your Google account, your profile picture will be updated automatically.

You can also visit the Settings page to upload your profile picture.

When you visit your page via your custom domain, the logo and favicon also show your your profile picture instead of Updote's logo.

You can now add your website URL to your profile. Just visit the Settings page and update your Website field.

I've updated the post URL to an SEO-friendly format. The post URL is now in the format https://www.updote.com/username/posts/post-title.ID, e.g. https://www.updote.com/Updote/posts/SEO-friendly-URL-1130

If you add and verify your custom domain, it'll be

https://custom.example.com/posts/post-title.ID

The old URLs will be automatically redirected to the new URL format.

You can now attach an image to your post. Just click the image button, select a file, then Post/Save. It'll append the image to your post.

You can also attach an image when commenting.

You can add an existing user to your account at the profile widget > Team members.

If they haven't registered an account yet, enter their name and email address. Updote will send an invitation email to them. They just need to click on the link to confirm their email.

By default, visitors to your custom domain will log in using Updote account. You can add your own login URL which redirects back to your page with an SSO token.

The example flow is like this:

• A user visit help.fastcron.com
• They click the Login with FastCron button
• They're taken to https://www.fastcron.com/updote
• If they're not logged in yet, they log in using their FastCron account
• FastCron redirects back to https://help.fastcron.com/?ssoToken=....
• They're logged in at help.fastcron.com, ready to like and comment.

To add a Login URL, visit profile widget > Add to website.

It's recommended to set up SSO using JWT. When your users visit your changelog page, they'll be automatically logged in using their account from your app.

If you haven't set up SSO yet, they can now log in using their Updote account.

You can now leave a comment on a post.

• Comments will be shown in chronological order, from oldest to latest.
• There are no nested comments yet. You can't comment on a comment.
• Comments are just posts, with no title.
• We support markdown in the comments, e.g. you can make it bold, italic, or share code or spoiler.
• You can change the visibility.
  • By default, your comments are viewable by you and the account owner/managers.
  • You can make it public if you'd like other users to see it too.
• Comment authors can edit/delete their comments.
• Account owners/managers can also edit/delete the comments. They can also Pin a comment to the top of the comments list.
• You can like a comment.

You can now sign up and log in with your Google account. We'll get your name, email address, and avatar. You can add a password to your account later.

If you already have an account, visit the Settings page to connect your Google account.

By default, your page is available at updote.com/you. You may want to use a custom domain e.g. help.example.com which is much more trustworthy and friendly to your users.

You can now visit your Account Settings page and add a custom domain name.

To set it up, add a CNAME record to point your custom domain name to cname.updote.com. If your DNS management service requires a trailing dot e.g. DNSMadeEasy, use cname.updote.com..

It will take some time for DNS propagation.

The first time you visit your custom domain, it'll set up a free, automatic SSL certificate within seconds.

Callout blocks are now supported. It's similar to a blockquote but with two letters at the beginning of the message.

• $$ or ss for success
• ?? or ii for info
• !! or ng for warning
• @@ or er for danger

For example, to add an info callout, use this format:

>?? Add **>??** at the beginning of the message to make an info callout.

Add >?? at the beginning of the message to make an info callout.

Below are examples of normal blockquotes vs callouts:

A short message.

A short success message.

A short info message.

A short warning message.

A short danger message.

A long message

With multiple lines and format.

A success message

With multiple lines and format.

A warning message

An info message

A danger message

With multiple lines and format.

Use the following format to add footnote:

Here is a simple footnote[^1]. With some additional text after it.

[^1]: My reference.

Here is a simple footnote¹. With some additional text after it.

Hi there,

You can now mention the current user with {{username}}, {{You}}, and {{there}}. @{{username}} becomes @you, {{You}} becomes You, and {{there}} becomes there.

What do you think about this?

You can now add a widget to display your public posts (e.g. changelog) on your website.

To do so, add this snippet before the </body> tag on your website:

<script src="https://www.updote.com/widget.js" defer></script>

then add data-updote to any link (a tag) to https://www.updote.com/you.

You can share your profile link anywhere, but only posts explicitly made public can be viewed.

The link to unlisted posts will include a hash of time, username, and hashed password, like this: https://www.updote.com/updote/posts/181?h=a9e1941ff286e04f097cd03ba61f32a9bbdab81e
