Widget

Today we added the possibility to translate the system texts that are visible when using our widget. You can now set a custom headline (default is "Updates"), read more label and show all link text. Please note that those texts are uppercase by default, you cannot change that for now.

To update those texts, open the workspace general settings and find the section "Custom texts / translations". In the panel, scroll all the way down until you see "Widget".

We're starting this year off with a small addition, but don't worry, much more is coming.

When using our widget, people can click on the "Updates" title at the top of the widget in order to open the standalone changelog. We added an option to disable this link.

Go you the workspace settings at releasesapp.com/settings and find the section "Outgoing widget link" to disable / enable this.

Starting today, you can optionally show an unread updates badge when using our widget. This is usually a red dot placed near a bell icon or something similar - you've probably seen that before.

We updated our setup instructions that can be found in the widget settings. You can also check our help center article in case someone with no access to the backend needs to know how to add this badge.

The styling is totally up to you, we do not add any styling at all. Here is an example how the dot could look like with Tailwind CSS classes.
