Add Video to Changelog

PinkDocs lets you attach videos to individual changelog items. This is useful for showing feature demos, UI walkthroughs, or quick explanations directly inside your release notes.

Where to find this setting

Go to WordPress Admin → PinkDocs → PinkDocs Settings → Changelog.

This opens the Version Logs screen where you manage releases and change items.
