Read What's New
Find the in-app changelog of recent Hook product updates and read individual release posts.
What's New is Hook's in-app changelog — a running list of product updates written by the Hook team. It's a read-only surface: you browse it whenever you want a quick read on what's changed, but you never author or edit posts. There's nothing to configure and nothing that can go wrong here, so treat it as a glance-when-you-want page rather than a task on your list.
Before you start
Prerequisites
- You're signed in to Hook and have an organization selected in the sidebar org switcher.
- The What's New feature is turned on for your environment. It's gated behind a feature flag controlled by Hook — if you don't see the What's New link at the bottom of the sidebar, the feature is off and the pages aren't reachable. See If you can't find What's New below.
Open What's New
What's New lives near the bottom of the org sidebar, below your main
navigation. Look for the entry labeled What's New with a sparkles
icon. Click it to open the list at /org/whats-new.
Read the list of updates
The list page is headed What's New with the subtitle Recent product updates from the Hook team. Below it, every published post appears in a single card, newest first.
Each row shows three things:
- Title — the listing title for the release post (which may be worded slightly differently from the headline shown on the post itself).
- Summary snippet — a one- or two-line preview of what the post covers, trimmed to two lines.
- Publish date — the date the Hook team published the post, shown on the right (for example, May 8, 2026).
The list is sorted by publish date, newest at the top. If two posts share the same date, the most recently added one appears first.
If the list is empty
Before any posts are published you'll see Updates are on their way. Check back soon. in place of the list. That's expected — it just means the Hook team hasn't posted yet.
Read a single post
Click any row to open the full post.
Open the post
Clicking a row takes you to that post's own page at
/org/whats-new/<post-slug>. The full write-up replaces the list: a Hook
team release post with its headline, a short lead-in, and a few details
such as the author and the date (or date range) the update covers.
Read it
Posts are short and plain-language by design — new features, improvements, and changes worth knowing about. You don't need to read them in real time; they stay here for whenever you want them.
Go back to the list
A small All updates link with a back arrow sits at the top of every post. Click it to return to the What's New list. Your browser's Back button works too.
What you can and can't do here
What's New is intentionally simple. Knowing its boundaries saves you hunting for controls that aren't there:
- It's read-only. You can browse the list and open posts. There are no buttons to create, edit, comment on, or react to posts.
- Posts come from the Hook team. Every post is written and published by Hook. Your organization's admins can't add posts here — this is not a place to publish your own internal announcements.
- There's no filtering or search. The list shows every published post, newest first. There's no search box, tag filter, or date range — scroll the list to find an older update.
- No unread badges or notifications. Nothing nudges you when a new post lands. Check the page when you're curious; that's the intended rhythm.
If you can't find What's New
The whole feature is gated behind a feature flag, so it may simply be off for your environment.
- When the flag is off, the sidebar link is hidden. You won't see the What's New entry near the bottom of the navigation at all.
- The pages aren't reachable either. Going straight to
/org/whats-newor a specific post URL returns a not found (404) page while the feature is off. - Visiting a post that doesn't exist also 404s. Even with the feature on, a URL whose slug doesn't match a published post returns not found.
If the link is missing and you believe it should be available, that's a flag/rollout question rather than something you can toggle yourself — reach out to Hook support.
This is a flagged feature
What's New is enabled via a feature flag controlled by Hook. If it's off, there's no setting in the org portal to turn it on — the link is hidden and the routes 404 until Hook enables it.
