Public newsfeed and changelog

Note: This feature is available in the Pro, legacy Boost plan, and above.

Newsfeed items can be displayed publicly in the Knowledge Base. That means the items will be visible to anonymous visitors. This acts as another way to improve your SEO and inform potential users about changes and new features in your application.

If you use segmentation, it is important to remember that it will be only applied inside your application. Public items won't be segmented and will be visible to all visitors. This is because we don't receive any user information for anonymous visitors.
