The Roadmap feature in CandyDocs allows you to publicly share what you're building, track development progress, and keep your users aligned with your product direction.
This guide walks you through how to manage roadmap items, configure roadmap page settings, and create new features from the admin dashboard.

Using Roadmap Strategically
A public roadmap helps you:

Reduce repetitive feature request queries
Keep statuses updated regularly to maintain trust and engagement.
Best Practices
Use clear and benefit-driven titles
Keep descriptions concise but informative
Update status as soon as work begins or completes
Use Estimated Quarter instead of exact dates if timelines may change
