Widget

Embed announcements into your app or site
The announcement widget offers a seamless way to integrate release notes into your application or website. With a simple click on a trigger in form of a link or button, users can access a dialog box displaying the most recent announcements. Additionally, the trigger conveniently displays a badge indicating the presence of new announcements.

  • Click the Install button at the bottom of the sidebar.

Overwriting the UI settings

You can overwrite the configured styles and settings of the widget by adding custom properties to the embed code. This allows for customizing the styling when embedding the widget in different locations.
When a setting is configured via the properties below, it can no longer be customized via the UI settings.
The properties are specified as attributes within the <released-widget> custom HTML element.

Widget Properties

The following customisation options are available for the widget.
Property
Description
channel-id
The ID of the release notes channel.
position
The position of the widget. Can be top-left, top-right, bottom-right, or bottom-left.
trigger
A string specifying a css selector that determines which element on the page will open the dialog when clicked. For example #changelog-button. If not specified, a default trigger button will be rendered.

Data Attributes

Setting data attributes can be helpful to prevent unwanted interactions with 3rd party libraries. For example, to prevent scrolling issues when the Lenis library is used, you can add the data-lenis-prevent attribute to the host container.
Example:
<released-widget channel-id="CHANNEL_ID" data-lenis-prevent=""></released-widget>

The following default values are applied in case a property is not explicitly defined.
