Adding Product Milestones in Mixpanel for Feature Tracking
kapa.ai Is there a way to add "product milestones" in Mixpanel ? Like indicating when I shipped a particular feature so that I can see the date in my charts ?

Yes, Mixpanel provides a feature called Annotations that allows you to mark specific dates on your charts—perfect for indicating product milestones like feature launches. You can add an annotation directly to a chart in the Insights report by hovering over the desired date and clicking the blue + button. Enter a description (e.g., "Shipped Feature X") and save it. This annotation will then appear across all relevant time-series charts, providing context for changes in your metrics around that date. You can also edit or delete annotations as needed, and multiple annotations can be added to the same date if required Insights: Visualize trends and compositions within your data.
Additionally, Mixpanel offers an Annotations API, which allows you to programmatically create annotations—useful if you want to automate the process, for example, by syncing product releases from GitHub or another system. The API requires a date and a description for each annotation you create Automate it: How to turn GitHub releases into Mixpanel Annotations.
In summary, Mixpanel’s Annotations are designed exactly for marking product milestones and providing context to your analytics.

Are annotations per chart ? Can I have global annotations ?

Annotations in Mixpanel are not limited to a single chart—they are global within your project. When you add an annotation to a specific date, it will appear across all relevant time-series charts that include that date. This means you can add context (such as product milestones) once, and it will be visible to all users across all charts that cover that moment in time. This global visibility helps teams maintain consistent context and communication across reports Automate it: How to turn GitHub releases into Mixpanel Annotations Insights: Visualize trends and compositions within your data.
