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.

Give your users a Trusted permission

From a user's Permission options, select Trusted to give certain users more responsibility. These users will be able to install and configure new products on your site and invite new users themselves.

New issue view: View fields in tabs

Fields arranged in tabs in the old issue view now appear in "glances" in the new issue view. Look for the tab name when you open an issue, and click it to view the fields.

Searching for inactive users has been disabled

To respect and continue to improve our users' privacy, Jira Cloud is disabling the ability to search for inactive users in the API and the Jira issue view.

Your work

Get back to important issues, projects, and boards fast with the new Your work tab. Click the Jira icon at the top left to go to Your work, then quickly find your recently viewed, assigned, or starred work.

We’re rolling this feature out slowly, so don’t worry if you don’t see it yet. You still have the option to set Dashboards as your landing page when you click the Jira icon.

New user profile cards

When you hover over someone’s name in directories, on dashboards, and in user picker fields, you’ll now start to see rich profile cards with more information and a link to the user’s profile (if you have permission to see it).

New issue view: Rich user profile cards

Get to know your team even faster. Our new user profile card provides more user information and a link to the user’s profile (if you have permission to see it). You’ll see it when you hover over someone’s name in user-picker fields (assignee, reporter, and other custom fields) and in issue activity feeds (comments, history, and the work log).

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). Take a look at the documentation for more info.

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.

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.

Export and share Roadmaps

Exporting and sharing roadmaps is now easier than ever:

• Export your roadmaps with more precision with new controls around the file format and timeline view.
• Share your roadmaps with your colleagues by typing their name, and a link will be sent to their email address.

Access to new issue view through reports

Requests that you access through reports will now display the new issue view. Learn more about the new issue view.

Customize how work flows in your next-gen projects

Control how your team's work flows in your next-gen project. You can define exactly how tasks move from to-do to completed by adding statuses along the way. Give people instruction of how work should progress by adding transitions or pathways between your statuses. And, power up your project's workflow by adding rules to automate repetitive actions you'd make when moving issues.

Try it out in your project settings. Go to Project settings > Request types. On your issue type settings, click the Edit workflow button.

New issue view for Jira Service Desk

The new issue view groups key actions and information in a logical way, making it easier for you to scan and update requests. Learn more about the new issue view.

Starred and recent queues

You can now select the star at the top right of a queue to mark it as one of your favorite queues. To easily access your starred and recently viewed queues, just select 'Starred and recent' in the global sidebar.

Breadcrumbs enabled in the help center article viewer

Breadcrumbs are now enabled in knowledge base articles. This breadcrumb trail allows your customers to keep track of their location within the knowledge base and to see how they reached the current page.

The preferred URL will change to make it clearer to your users which path was used to reach the current page.

Also, articles will now open in the same tab rather than a new tab.

Create request button feature now on knowledge base article pages

The create request button feature is now on knowledge base article pages, where the help center has request groups configured.

Copy workflows to other request types in your next-gen service desk

Made a workflow that you want your other request types to follow? You can now quickly copy a workflow to another issue type in your next-gen service desk.

To try it out:

1. From your service desk's sidebar, select Project settings > Request types.
2. From the sidebar, select the request type with the workflow you want to copy.
3. Select Edit workflow.
4. Select Actions (•••) > Copy to other request types.

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.

Teams have arrived in Confluence retrospectives!

Instead of having to individually add each member of your team to a retrospective, Confluence now lets you assign people to Teams, so you can bulk add everyone at once.

Use the retrospective template to see Teams in action. You can edit Teams through the retrospective-creation process, and add or edit other attendees for each retrospective you create.

We're extending editing improvements to all pages on Android

The editing improvements we made to blogs a few months ago are coming to the rest of your Android mobile pages, too. In addition to being faster and more reliable, your new pages are also responsive, optimized for readability, and have advanced tables. Some macros are still missing as we rebuild them, but you can check the list of changes and track updates to macros on our docs site.

Add page layouts using slash command

Easily add page layouts in the new editor using the /layouts quick insert slash command.

Confluence Cloud recent pages drawer

We’ve made it easier to get to the pages you visited or worked with most recently. A new action has been added to the global sidebar that presents you with a list of your recent pages; interaction-specific tabs help you narrow the list based on your actions, like visited, edited, or saved as draft.

Share pages directly with your team

It’s now easier to share pages with everyone on your team, all in one go. When you hit Share on any page or blog post, Confluence now lets you add a team – no need to enter each person individually. Learn more

Bitbucket markdown requires a space after # to get a header

We’ve tweaked the current markdown implementation and you now have to add a space after # to get a header.
If you add a number right after #, it will retrieve an issue with that number if it exists.
