Flagging or unflagging an issue

  1. Click the Agile link's down-arrow in the top navigation bar, then select your preferred board from the resulting dropdown menu.
  2. Click either Backlog, or Active sprints (Scrum board) / Kanban board (Kanban board).
  3. Click the issue key (or type t in Work mode) to display the Issue Detail View on the right-hand side of the screen.
