Changelog Types

Every changelog entry has a type - a colored badge that tells users at a glance what kind of update it is. Convot ships three defaults that cover most cases, and you can add your own.

Default types

These defaults are fully editable - you can rename them (e.g. change “Improved” to “Enhancement”), change the color, or reorder them.

Managing types

Go to Changelog, then open the Types tab (or the types settings area in your app settings). You’ll see the list of types with their color swatches and how many entries use each one.

Edit a type

1. Click the type row to open its editor.
2. Change the name and/or color (pick from the preset swatches or enter a hex code).
3. Save. The new name and color apply everywhere - the admin list, the public page, and the widget badge.

Add a type

1. Click New type.
2. Enter a name and pick a color.
3. Save. It appears in the type dropdown when you create or edit entries.

Delete a type

You can delete a type as long as you don’t need it anymore. Entries that used it become “Unassigned” - they still publish, but without a type badge until you reassign them.

How types appear

On the public changelog page, each entry shows a small colored badge with the type name. There are also filter chips at the top of the page so users can click “New” (or any of your types) to see only entries of that kind.

In the widget, the badge appears next to the entry title in the “What’s new” list.
