Docs Audience Segmentation Groups & Audience Targeting

Groups & Audience Targeting

Last updated: April 2026

Plan availability: Audience segmentation, private changelogs, JWT group claims, and share tokens are all Team+ features. See the Team plan for pricing.

What segmentation does

Show different changelog content to different users. Example: enterprise sees migration notes, beta sees preview features.

Creating groups

In Settings → Audience, create named groups like beta, enterprise, internal. Groups are strings; Team+ has no limits.

Per-item targeting

Each release item can be restricted to specific groups. Unrestricted items are visible to everyone.

Passing groups via JWT

Sign JWTs from your backend with user group claims. Herald enforces visibility automatically.

Private changelogs

Require authentication for hosted changelog access via Settings → Visibility.

Share tokens

Generate secret URLs that bypass auth for investors, press, or external stakeholders.
