- Creates an automatic shipping history
- Preserves commit and environment context
- Supports easier retrospectives and support

- 3Ask Notis to create a Knack release record for each new GitHub deployment with its environment, ref, commit, creator, and link.
- 4Select New Deployment Created and choose your run-report channel.
- 5Test with one real deployment.
Questions about this workflow
