🚀 Major Changelog Update Released: Welcome to the Modern Layout Era

Orhan Keskin··3 min read

Today marks a major release.

This is not just a visual refresh,  it's a comprehensive upgrade that makes the Changelog experience more flexible, more readable, and significantly more controllable from end to end.

But there's one more important shift:

Your Changelog is no longer just a changelog - it has evolved into a full Feed experience for your company.

Your Changelog, Roadmap, and Feature Requests can now live as separate pages with their own URLs, making navigation and sharing much more structured.

For example, you can already try the new Feature Requests experience here:

👉 https://changelog.announcekit.app/feature-requests

Go ahead and explore it - and don’t forget to share your thoughts with us.

Where can you enable it?

Switching to the new experience is simple:

Settings → Changelog → Theme Designer → Page layout → Modern

With a single switch, you can move between Classic and Modern layouts anytime.

What’s new in this update?

1) Brand-new Modern page structure

With the Modern layout, two visual styles are now available:

  • Full style
  • Minimal style

You can also directly control layout elements such as:

  • Content width (slider-based)
  • Header height (slider-based)
  • Header background image (upload or URL)
  • Font family selection

These controls make visual customization significantly smoother and more intuitive.

2) Easy theme color pickers

Theme management has been heavily improved.

You can now:

  • Start quickly using predefined color palettes
  • Manage individual colors in advanced mode:
    • Main accent
    • Secondary & borders
    • Page background
    • Body text
    • Header text

The easy theme color pickers are now genuinely practical for daily use.

3) Automatic light/dark mode with visitor control

With the Modern theme:

  • Automatic light/dark adaptation based on device settings
  • Separate palette control for light and dark modes
  • Optional Auto / Light / Dark switch visible to visitors

This improves both brand consistency and user comfort.

4) Much more flexible navigation tabs

Navigation is now fully modular.

You can:

  • Enable or disable Changelog / Roadmap / Feature Requests
  • Reorder tabs using drag & drop
  • Customize tab names
  • Set the default landing tab

This makes navigation more product-focused and customizable.

5) Page-level configuration control

Each page — Changelog, Roadmap, and Feature Requests — now has its own independent settings.

You can configure:

  • Page titles and descriptions
  • Sidebar position (left, right, off)
  • Filter placement (below header or sidebar)
  • Filter visibility (menu or always open)
  • Visitor tools (search, date filters, categories, etc.)
  • “Suggest an idea” prompt visibility

This level of granularity allows each page to serve a distinct purpose.

6) Improved multiple selection experience

Filtering behavior now supports true multi-select interaction.

Users can:

  • Select multiple categories simultaneously
  • Clear selections with a single click
  • See visual category indicators

For teams using multiple widget selections, the Modern structure also ensures a more consistent overall experience.

7) More accurate preview and live alignment

Preview inside the Theme Designer now reflects:

  • Modern metadata
  • Updated color systems
  • Real layout behavior

In short:

What you see in the panel is now much closer to what users actually see live.

A Bigger Shift: Changelog → Feed

This release introduces something bigger than UI changes.

Your Changelog is now evolving into a unified Feed experience for your company.

Each section can live on its own dedicated page:

  • Changelog
  • Roadmap
  • Feature Requests

Each with its own shareable URL, such as:

👉 https://changelog.announcekit.app/feature-requests

This structure makes your updates:

  • easier to navigate
  • easier to share
  • easier to organize
  • and much more scalable as your product grows

Try it now

We highly recommend switching to the Modern layout and exploring the new structure.

To enable:

Settings → Changelog → Theme Designer → Page layout → Modern 🚀

And while you're there:

👉 Visit https://changelog.announcekit.app/
👉 Try the new Feed structure
👉 Send us your feedback

We’re especially interested in hearing:

  • what feels faster
  • what feels clearer
  • and what we should improve next

Your feedback will directly shape the next iterations of the Modern layout and all AnnounceKit. Let us know what would you like to see as next?
