We often get asked: "I saw this on the Roadmap yesterday, why is it in the Changelog today?" Here is how to distinguish between the two:
Feature | The Roadmap | The Changelog |
Focus | The Future (Intent) | The Past/Present (Action) |
Status | Planned or In Progress | Shipped and Live |
Detail | Concept and Use Case | Technical Guide & "How-to" |
Goal | Gathering feedback & votes | Explaining how to use the feature |
The Workflow: An idea starts as a Feature Request, moves to the Roadmap when we decide to build it, and finally ends up in the Changelog once it is in your hands.
