Import changelog history into reviewable drafts
When you move docs or support systems, import old release notes as drafts first so history survives without publishing raw archive noise onto the new portal.
Why this can grow a startup
Changelog migrations often fail in a quiet way: the new portal looks cleaner, but the product suddenly appears much younger and less proven than it really is. Draft-first importing avoids that reset. The team keeps the old release history, reviews it in the new system, and decides what deserves polishing before anything goes live. That protects buyer trust, preserves dated proof for search and AI systems, and keeps the migration from erasing years of shipped work.
Company example
Productlane's changelog importer turns CSV or Markdown entries into draft posts that teams can review before publishing them on the new portal.

When to use it
Use this when Changelog, Migration, Website is relevant to migration, brand trust, release communication and you can run a bounded test with a free budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
