See what’s new in Chief

Chief ships updates often. The Latest Changes changelog is where you can read about new features, improvements, and fixes as they go live, so you always know what changed. Have an idea for what should ship next? Send feedback.

Open Latest Changes

  1. Find the Latest Changes gift icon in the navigation bar.
  2. Click it. A What’s new popover opens next to the icon.
  3. Review the two newest updates. Each shows its title and date, a link for each highlight, and a count of fixes when that update included any.
  4. Click a title or highlight to jump to that part of the changelog entry, or click See all updates → to open the full changelog.
A red dot on the gift icon means an update has shipped since you last opened What’s new on this device. Opening the popover clears the dot. The first time you use Chief on a new device, no dot appears until the next update ships.

Follow the changelog outside Chief

The changelog is a public publication, so you can follow releases without opening the app:
  • Subscribe to the changelog RSS feed in your feed reader. The feed includes new entries as they are published.
  • Open an individual entry from the changelog index to get a stable permalink, such as https://chief.bot/changelog/public-changelog-page. Share that URL when you want someone to read one update directly.
  • Open the Markdown changelog to read the complete index as plain Markdown or provide it to a text-based tool.
The index continues to grow, so use the RSS feed or the publication’s latest entries instead of relying on a fixed entry count.
