Create Release Notes
YouTrack lets you export a list of issues as an HTML page. You can use this page to publish release notes for a product. The ID of each issue in the list is set as a link to the original issue in YouTrack.
The maximum number of issues that you can export is determined by the Max Issues to Export setting on the Global Settings page. The default value is 500. If the number of issues that you want to export exceeds the global limit, ask an administrator to increase this value. For more information, see System.
To export a list of issues to HTML:
Click the Issues link in the header.
Search for the issues that you want to display on the HTML page. For example, to create release notes you can use search query like this one:

This setting determines the default level of detail in the HTML report. If you set the level of detail to One-line view or Compact view, the issue ID and issue summary are displayed in the HTML report.
From the Reports drop-down list, select Issues in HTML.
An HTML page is generated with the list of issues.
The issues in the list are grouped by issue type.
