We’re thrilled to announce that changelog, a powerful new addition to Bubble’s version control system, is now in beta and rolling out gradually to Growth, Team, Enterprise, and Agency account users! Over the next month, we’ll expand access to 100% of eligible users. This release marks a significant step forward in how your team can collaborate and manage your app development process.
What is Changelog?
Changelog provides a comprehensive, time-ordered view of all changes made within your app branches. Think of it as your app’s development story — every change, every update, all in one place.
Key Features
Complete change history: Track all changes made within your app’s retention window, including who made the change and when.
Note, that in the first month of release, the retention window for changelog will be 3 days and then we will increase to your app’s retention period after this time.
Smart filtering: Quickly find specific changes by filtering across different categories (visual elements, workflows, settings, and more)
Visual previews: See thumbnail previews of changes made in the editor canvas directly in your changelog
Direct navigation: Jump straight to modified elements by clicking on changelog entries
Savepoint integration: Track both custom and system-generated savepoints alongside your changes
Many of you have shared the challenges that pop up when you’re managing changes in team environments:
“What exactly changed in this branch since last week?”
“Who modified this workflow, and when?”
“Why did this merge conflict happen?”
Changelog directly addresses these pain points by providing crystal-clear visibility into your app’s evolution.
Getting started
To access changelog:
Make sure you’re on a Growth plan, Team plan, or Agency account
Open the version control panel
Look for the new changelog tab
Your feedback matters
As with any release, your feedback is incredibly valuable. Please share your experiences, suggestions, and any issues you encounter below or submit a bug report. Your input will help shape the future of this feature.
Important notes
This is a public beta available to Growth, Team, and Agency plan users, which you can enable in Settings > Versions > Beta Features.
Starter and Free plan users won’t have access to this feature because those plans don’t include version control
The feature works alongside existing version control functionality without disruption
We’re excited to see the ways changelog transforms how your teams can work together in Bubble. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
Would also be great to have some discoverability (including in plans without version control) of the series of changes available to undo/redo. Maybe this new version control changelog functionality could be leveraged to also enable such discoverability.
To illustrate, here’s an example typical of implementation in other apps:
Would be nice to be able to access the data via API so that this could be exposed publicly and changes to the site can be done in one place, instead of having to build your own changelog feature.
Huge! Can you focus on WU bugs, miscalculations, documentation, and overcharging of customers now or are we just gonna act like that’s not the biggest issue in the platform still?
Bravo on this update! This will help not only for typical auditing and troubleshooting purposes, but also for those striving for higher levels of compliance in their development practices.

I’ve been part of the alpha testing for changelog (thanks Kate & team ) and have already given this feedback about being able to use this data natively in the app for a customer-facing changelog. It’s not in scope for this initial rollout, but something they’re “keeping in mind for a later addition”
Yeah, I was curious why we got this before a fix or at the least a comment about the backend workflow tab feature not living up to anybody expectations
Do you know when this feature will be pushed to dedicated environments? It is very unfortunate that dedicated always seems like an after thought. Dedicated does not see the features until weeks or months after the main cluster gets access.
@zachary.bracken in your specific case (dedicated env) I think you should just reach to your account manager and they can work with you to get you into the trial segment if you want to test it out before it naturally makes it way to you
This tool provides great value in improving collaboration among engineering teams. I want to express my sincere gratitude to the team or teams responsible for designing, developing, and testing this feature.
