Getting Started with 4Releases

AI-powered release notes for monday.com. Select items from your boards, auto-group by type, generate polished notes with AI, and export as Markdown or HTML.

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.

First-Time Setup

When you open 4Releases for the first time, a welcome screen guides you through three steps:

1. Select boards — pick the boards that contain your release items.
2. Map columns — tell the app which columns hold status, type, and description. Common column types are auto-detected.
3. Confirm — review your configuration and save.

Generating Release Notes

1. Select the items you want to include — individually or by group.
2. Enter a version label and release date.
3. Click Generate Release Notes to create both internal (detailed, technical) and external (user-facing, polished) notes.
4. Review and edit the generated notes as needed.

Exporting

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

• Copy — plain text to clipboard for quick sharing.
• Download MD — Markdown file for docs sites, GitHub releases, or wikis.
• Download HTML — standalone HTML file for emails, Slack, or any rich text editor.

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.
