# Update

> Use the update component to display product updates, release notes, and changelog entries in a structured timeline format with dates.

Use the `Update` component to display changelog entries, version updates, and release notes with consistent formatting.

<Update label="Example" description="v0.1.1">
  ## Example update

  You can add anything here, like a screenshot, a code snippet, or a list of changes.

  ### Features

  * Responsive design
  * Anchor for each update
  * Generated RSS feed entry for each update
</Update>

## How to use

```mdx Update example theme={null}
<Update label="2024-10-11" description="v0.1.0" tags={["Mintlify"]}>
  This is an update with a label, description, and tag.
</Update>
```

Use multiple `Update` components to create [changelogs](/create/changelogs).

Update components automatically generate RSS feed entries. The entries contain pure Markdown only--components, code blocks, inline code, and raw HTML elements are not included.

If your update includes components or HTML, use the `rss` prop to provide alternative text for RSS subscribers.

```mdx Custom RSS content theme={null}
<Update
  label="March 2025"
  description="v2.0.0"
  rss={{
    title: "March 2025 - Major redesign",
    description: "Complete UI overhaul with new components"
  }}
>
  ## New dashboard
