Release notes without docs are half a story. Users need the instructions right when the change ships.
A sync workflow keeps notes and docs aligned.
Define the dependency
If the release introduces a new workflow or setting, the docs must ship with it. Treat it as a blocking requirement.
Pair doc updates with PRs
Require documentation updates in the same PR as the change. If docs are separate, they get delayed.
Use a simple checklist
- Docs link added to the release note.
- Screenshots updated.
- Support brief references doc link.
Assign doc ownership
A release without a doc owner tends to ship without docs. Assign one owner per release.
How ReleaseMind helps
ReleaseMind links release notes to doc updates so users get the full story in one place.
