Digest
A plain-language summary of what changed in a Project across a chosen time range. Generated on demand or on a schedule, exportable as PDF, and shareable with a link — designed to keep the whole company in the loop.
A Digest is a Specsight-generated document covering a specific time window — the last sprint, the past month, since the last board meeting. It pulls together every release that landed in that window and lays out the changes plainly: a written summary up top, then every affected Feature with the before-and-after detail underneath.
Digests exist because the changelog answers a different question. The changelog is per-Feature and continuous — useful for tracing the history of one specific behaviour. A Digest is per-period and aggregated — useful when someone asks "what changed last quarter?" and the right answer is a tidy summary, not a sprawling per-Feature audit trail.
The output is faithful by design — Specsight reports everything it observed in the window, unedited and unsteered. Set a weekly or monthly cadence and the whole team gets it by email; generate one on demand before a board meeting or a client review; share one by link with someone outside the team.
