   Release notes management software allows developers to author and share documentation pertaining to their product updates and releases. This allows development teams to make announcements, summarize product changes, and manage communication with customers, relevant stakeholders, and more.

Developers use release notes management software to supplement their product releases and updates with clear, concise information that allows their audience to understand the purpose of each release. These solutions handle much of the administrative workload required to achieve high customer- and stakeholder-facing communication standards. From providing developers with a dashboard for authoring and publishing release announcements, to automatically notifying and directing the desired audience to those announcements, release notes management software serves as a robust tool for promoting product changes.

To qualify for inclusion in the Release Notes Management category, a product must:

- Allow users to create and manage customer-facing product release notes
- Notify customers automatically when release notes are available
- Possess tools for distributing release announcements across channels
