### Features

- Responsive design
- Anchor for each update
- Generated RSS feed entry for each 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](/guides/best-practices-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"
  }}
>

## Props

- `label` (string, required) — Label for the update. Appears to the left of the update and creates an anchor link using the same [automatic anchor ID rules](/guides/create-content-create-text#automatic-anchor-ids) as headings. Use unique labels to create distinct anchor links.

- `tags` (string\[]) — Tags for the update. Shown as filters in the right side panel.

- `description` (string) — Description of the update. Appears below the label and tag.

- `rss` (object) — Update components automatically generate RSS feed entries. Use the `rss` property to create a single RSS feed entry with a custom title and description.

If not provided:

- Updates with Markdown headings create a separate RSS feed entry for each heading.
- Updates without Markdown headings create a single RSS feed entry using the `label` as the title.

:::accordion{title="properties"}
* `title` (string) — Custom title for the RSS feed entry.

  - `description` (string) — Custom description for the RSS feed entry.
