Search for teams from your profile page

We are starting a progressive rollout of Atlassian Teams. Users visiting the Atlassian Cloud people directory will be able to start a team. Teams provide an identity for a group of people, and a way to stay across their collective work easily. Visit our documentation to find out more.

Email users with suggested account changes

From the Change details button, you can suggest that a user changes their account details to make their profile more consistent and easier to identify. Read more about administering Atlassian accounts.

Atlassian profile and people directory

We're bringing the new Atlassian profile to Confluence. Soon you'll have a single profile for all the Atlassian products you use on your site, including Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket. To do this, we've consolidated the information in your Atlassian account and your Confluence profile and removed or replaced redundant fields. We've also moved the profile tab out of Settings and into the menu you access from your avatar.

Finally, we've deprecated the Confluence people directory and replaced it with a one that works across all your Atlassian products. You can access the new people directory via the App Switcher.

Blogs are getting the first round of editing improvements

If you've ever thought 'I wish it was easier to read blogs on mobile.... or on other devices', then this change is for you. Blogs are getting fixed-width layouts to improve readability across all devices. We're making a bunch of other updates to improve editing reliability and clean up your editing experience, so some macros may be temporarily unavailable while they're under maintenance. You can read more about these changes on our docs site.

All collaborators now get credited as page authors

The person who starts a page isn't necessarily the same person who finishes it, and if more than one person have been working on something together, we think they all deserve credit for what they created. That's why we're changing the byline on Confluence pages so that they now include all the collaborators, not just the person who first created them.

Meeting notes are getting a makeover

We're continuing to work on improving your editing experience, and next in line for an upgrade is meeting notes. In addition to being faster and more reliable, your new meeting notes are also responsive, optimized for readability, and have advanced tables. Some macros are still temporarily missing as we rebuild them, but you can check the list and find more details on all of these changes from our docs site.

Login-free portal

Users can view the customer portal, read knowledge base articles, and send requests without logging in. Learn more on the Jira Service Desk blog.

Meet the new help center

We have exciting things happening in the help center. Check out our blog to learn what's coming!

Knowledge base is full-page

We're building a bigger and better knowledge base! To start, the Knowledge base in the sidebar is now full-page. Stay tuned for more updates!

Browse knowledge base categories in help center

Add knowledge base articles to categories so help seekers can browse articles by topic in the help center. Learn more on the Jira Service Desk Cloud blog.

Browse knowledge base articles in your project

As part of our knowledge base refresh, you can now search and browse all your knowledge base articles from a spacious page in your service desk project.

New issue view for Jira Software

Get a consistent view and edit experience with our new issue view for Jira Software. Click an issue to see its details, edit any field with a click, and add content with the quick-add buttons (under the issue summary). We're rolling this out gradually, so you may not see it on your site just yet. Take a look at the documentation for more info and watch the page to be updated when we release new features.

We're adding new features and refining the design all the time, so click Give feedback on the issue view to let us know what you think.

New issue view: full-page issue view

The new Jira issue view, which we already released for boards and the backlog, is now here for the full-page issue view. Quickly add attachments and subtasks, link issues, and click to edit any field you see. Check out this page for more info.

Next-gen boards: Epics on board and backlog

Big feature coming up! We're adding Epics to next-gen boards. Epics will show on your board as a new issue type, and will allow your team to plan larger pieces of work.

To learn more about epics in general, check out our guide on work structure.

GitHub app on the Atlassian Marketplace

We've partnered with GitHub to build a new and improved integration, which you can install at the Atlassian Marketplace. This replaces the DVCS connector in Jira's system settings. Current GitHub integrations set up under the old method will continue to work, but new integrations must be set up using the app on the Atlassian Marketplace. We're rolling out this update gradually, so it may not be on your Jira Cloud site yet.

This won't affect GitHub Enterprise integrations, which must still be set up via the DVCS connector.

Add child issues to epics in next-gen projects

Add stories, tasks, bugs and other child issues to epics in your next-gen projects to further define the work that needs to be done.

Required encoding of some character for Jira Cloud REST APIs

As part of our continued focus on the security of our Cloud platform, and our recent Tomcat update, we're introducing changes that'll require the encoding of some characters used in REST API calls. Read the change notice for more information and relevant dates.

Jira Ops: Edit your incident issue type and customize its fields

Change your incident issue type's name and icon in your incident management project's settings. Customize the fields that appear in your incident records. Or, create new fields and capture essential information to help resolve incidents faster. Go to Project settings > Issue types to try it out.

You're going to love our next-gen project experience (formerly "independent" projects)

We're working hard to roll out more project templates that anyone can create and manage, without bothering their Jira admin for help with their issue types, fields, and workflows. If you've got Jira Software, try out a next-gen project to see what we've been up to.

Formerly known as "independent" projects, next-gen projects are improving daily. If you notice a feature missing, it's likely on the way. To make a feature request, let us know on the Atlassian community.

Edit the default assignee and project lead in Project Details

Go to Project settings > Details to edit your project lead and default assignee in one place.

New Jira experience: Updated project issue navigator

As part of the new Jira experience, we've updated the project issue navigator. There's a new, cleaner design, and it includes the new Jira issue view to help you quickly find and update important issue info.

Check it out by navigating to your project and selecting Issues in the sidebar.

Note: Create issue and navigation with keyboard shortcuts aren't available in the new navigator just yet, but we hope to add them very soon. The + in the sidebar is always there for when you need to create new issues.

New issue view: Full-page issue view for business projects

The simplicity and consistency of the new issue view, which we've already released to boards (and backlogs for Jira Software), is here for the full-page issue view. Use the quick-add buttons to add attachments and subtasks, or link issues, in a flash, and edit everything you see inline.

Atlassian profile page

We're bringing the new Atlassian profile to Jira, so that you'll soon have a single unified profile for all of your Atlassian products, like Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket. This means some options that used to be in your profile have moved to your avatar > Personal settings:

• Language
• Time zone
• Autowatch (whether you're automatically set as a watcher for issues you create or comment on) 
• Email type (HTML or plain text)

As part of this change we've removed the option to disable keyboard shortcuts, as it was rarely used.

Boards that were located in your profile have also moved. They're now under your avatar > Your boards.

Add bug and task issue types to your next-gen projects

Next-gen projects come with the Story issue type. Now, you can add Bug and Task issue types from your project's settings. Go to Settings > Issue types, and select + Add issue type.

Create custom fields in next-gen projects

Set up custom fields to help add context to your team's work. Collect and display the information that's important to you on your project's issues. You can create custom fields and use them on any issue type in your next-gen project.

Automatically update issue fields in your next-gen project

Use the Update an issue field rule to automatically change the value of a field when moving an issue between columns or statues. For now, you can update the issue's priority or description. We're adding more fields and functionality in the next few months.

To try out the rule: From your next-gen board, select More (…) > Manage rules.

More rules coming soon!

Switch and search for boards in your project's sidebar

We improved the board switcher in your project's sidebar. Now, you can switch between the boards in your current project and recent boards from other projects. And, you can search for boards across your entire Jira site.

To try it out, select your board's name in your project's sidebar.

Search for any board from the project sidebar

We added a search bar to the boards listing on your project sidebar. If your project has more than one board, select the board's name in the sidebar to see a list of recently-viewed boards. Use the new search bar to search for boards in any project on your site.

Change the key when creating a new project

Removing the test connection button for incoming mail servers

To improve security in Jira Cloud, we're removing the Test Connection button that appears when you're configuring incoming mail servers.

Site admins: Invite users to your site from a next-gen project board

If you're a site admin, you can invite users to join your Jira site by adding them to your next-gen project board. While viewing a next-gen project board, select the Add people avatar and type in someone's email address. We'll send them an email inviting them to join your Atlassian site. Invited users will get application access to Jira Software (and take up a Jira Software license).

New collapsed navigation

We've improved the way you access your menu. When you hover over the sidebar, it will expand automatically and shrink back.
