How to add What's New Popup to your website

Embed What's New Popup on Your Website

01

Create a What's New Popup widget for your website on Common Ninja

First, create a What's New Popup widget on Common Ninja. On the widgets catalog, find the What's New Popup and enter the Editor.

02

Save the What's New Popup widget

When you're done creating the What's New Popup widget, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the What's New Popup Embed Code

When you're ready to add the What's New Popup widget to your website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the widget embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your website.

04

Paste the code to your Platform website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Platform website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Platform’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the What's New Popup Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s What's New Popup widget on your Platform website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s What's New Popup widget on your Platform widget. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Platform website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the What's New Popup widget to your Platform website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Platform website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the What’s New Popup widget when you ship updates frequently and want users to notice improvements without searching for release notes. A popup gives a dedicated space to highlight new features, fixes, or announcements right when visitors return to your site or app. This keeps customers informed, improves feature adoption, and reduces support questions about changes. It is especially valuable for SaaS products, tools, and platforms that evolve quickly. With a structured list of updates and clear phrasing, users can understand what changed in seconds. The popup format ensures visibility while still allowing you to keep the rest of the interface clean, creating a smooth balance between communication and browsing.
