Product release notes tell users what changed. iorad lets you show them. Instead of publishing a text description of a new feature, create an interactive tutorial that walks users through the updated workflow step by step. Users click through the change themselves rather than reading about it and guessing what to do next.
Teams that pair iorad tutorials with their release notes report faster feature adoption, fewer support tickets about the new functionality, and release notes that users actually engage with instead of skipping.
If you're part of a product management team, then you deal with new features and updates regularly. Communicating those changes to your company and your customers isn't easy but it is critical. Sure, you can send a slide deck, or video, or host a webinar, but how do you know if that information will resonate? How many people are actually going to review the content from top to bottom on their own and understand exactly what you are trying to tell them?
How to Add iorad Tutorials to Your Release Notes
The workflow is straightforward. When a new feature ships or an existing workflow changes, a team member records the updated steps in iorad. The recording takes roughly the same amount of time as writing a text description of the change. The result is an interactive tutorial that users can click through to see the change in action.
The tutorial can be embedded directly in your release notes page, shared as a standalone link in a product email, or published to a help center article alongside the written description. Users who want to understand the change by reading can do so. Users who learn by doing can click through the tutorial.
For product teams releasing updates frequently, iorad fits into the existing release process: write the release note, record the iorad tutorial, embed the link. The additional step adds minutes, not hours, to the release documentation workflow.
Using small, interactive tutorials, you can showcase product updates and layer in specific information covering what changed and why it's important. On top of that, tutorials require input from the viewer as they go through each step, so you can make sure you're capturing their full attention along the way.
