# Release Notes

Release notes provide a structured summary of product changes delivered in a specific time period. They are designed to keep customers, administrators, and stakeholders informed about what has changed, what has improved, and what actions (if any) are required.

## Purpose of Release Notes

Release notes help you:

* Understand new features and capabilities added to the platform.
* Track improvements to performance, reliability, and user experience.
* Identify bug fixes and resolved issues.
* Stay informed about integration updates and API changes.
* Determine whether any configuration updates or customer actions are recommended.

## What Release Notes Typically Include

A standard release note may include:

* **Highlights** – A high-level summary of the most important changes.
* **New Features** – Newly introduced functionality.
* **Improvements** – Enhancements to existing features or workflows.
* **Integration Updates** – Changes to third-party integrations or APIs.
* **Bug Fixes** – Resolved defects and corrected behaviors.
* **Security & Reliability Updates** – Infrastructure, dependency, or platform hardening changes.
* **Customer Actions (if applicable)** – Steps customers may need to take to benefit from new functionality.

## Why They Matter

Release notes provide transparency into product evolution and ensure teams can:

* Plan adoption of new features.
* Adjust workflows when necessary.
* Maintain compliance and operational awareness.
* Communicate platform updates internally.

They serve as an official, time-bound record of changes to the platform.
