Getting Started

Prerequisites

To use 4Releases you need a monday.com account with admin or editor access to at least one workspace. Admin access is required for the initial installation; editors can use the app after it has been added.

Installation

  1. Open the monday.com marketplace and search for 4Releases.
  2. Click Install and authorize the app for your account.
  3. Navigate to any board, click the + button next to your existing views, and select 4Releases under Apps to add it as a board view.

Selecting a Board

When you open 4Releases from a board view, the release builder appears. Your current board is automatically selected as the source for release items.

Mapping Columns

4Releases needs to know which column represents the item type (feature, bug fix, improvement, etc.). Use the column mapping dropdown to select your type column. Common column types are auto-detected to get you started quickly.

Generating Release Notes

  1. Select the items you want to include in the release — individually or by group.
  2. Choose your audience: Internal (detailed, technical) or External (user-facing, polished).
  3. Click Generate to create AI-powered release notes from your selected items.
  4. Review and edit the generated notes as needed.

Exporting

Once you're happy with your release notes, you can:

  • Copy as Markdown — paste into your docs site, GitHub release, or wiki.
  • Copy as HTML — paste into emails, Slack, or any rich text editor.
  • Copy as plain text — for simple sharing anywhere.

Saving & Managing Releases

Each generated release is automatically saved. You can:

  • Revisit and edit past releases from the sidebar.
  • Set a release date for tracking.
  • Duplicate a release as a starting point for the next one.
  • Re-generate notes at any time with updated content.
