Advanced Roadmaps for Jira - Warn when an issue is assigned to a Kanban team and a Sprint

We added a warning that shows up when users try to assign issues in a sprint to Kanban teams (only Scrum teams plan using sprints). This doesn’t change the functionality at all, but simply serves as a way to guide users through the planning process.

Git repository code information in Jira

Get greater visibility of your team’s work, from issue to code. You can now link the Git repositories your teams work on with the new Code feature. Head to Project Settings > Features > Code to enable the feature and start to visualize your teams' repositories in your project. Learn more about the Code in Jira feature.

Advanced Roadmaps for Jira - Dependencies report

The new Dependencies report is a unique way to view your work for those who are more “visual planners”. This new tool lets you view dependencies in your plan in a map-like layout so you can spot misaligned dates and potential problems that may not be obvious from the roadmap view. You can also focus on specific dependencies with powerful grouping and filtering tools.

For more information, check out our documentation Viewing the Dependencies report.

Issue collector no longer matches the submitter's user session to make them the reporter

We’ve adapted our issue collectors to the Chrome browser’s new cookie security features, but have had to change how they work. The issue collector no longer matches a submitter’s user session to make them the reporter. You can still match them by email address.

To improve issue security, project and issue keys are no longer displayed in the success message after submitting feedback on an issue collector (unless the project is open to anyone on the web).

Learn more about using the issue collector.

Track deployment information in Jira

Get greater visibility of deployments by automatically tracking and displaying Git pipelines against the issues over a time scale. You can now visualize the progress of a work-item as it moves through your deployment pipeline. To use the Deployments feature, simply integrate Jira Software with Bitbucket Pipelines. Learn more about the Deployments feature.

Advanced Roadmaps for Jira - View Switching

Introducing View Switching for Advanced Roadmaps for Jira.

This new feature on Cloud allows you to change how data is displayed in your plan, depending on your audience and the story you want to tell. Once you've created your complete plan, use a bevy of filters and tools to focus on dependencies, high-level planning, workload allocation, and more. Then you can save your settings as a View that can be shared across your organization.

The View switching feature comes with four preset views, each of which can be customized to suit your needs:

• Basic view
• Top-level planning view
• Dependency management view
• Sprint capacity management view

Read our documentation about View switching to learn more.

Connection flows with third-party repositories

After linking the code repositories with your Jira project:

• You can see the repositories from the third-party providers on the Code page.
• You can manage your third-party app integrations through code settings. Navigate to the settings from the meatballs menu on the top-right corner of the Code page to configure your connection flows. Learn more about the Code in Jira feature

New issue view: Vote for your preferred issues

You can now vote on issues in the new issue view to voice your preference for them — it works the same way it did in the old issue view. To try it out, click the thumbs up at the top right of an issue. From there you can vote for the issue and see who else has voted.

New Issue View: Delay reminders to move to the new issue view

If you’re an admin, you can move your users to the new issue view all at once before March 31, 2021. To do so, first delay new issue view reminders in our new issue view transition page so your users don’t receive pop-up reminders in Jira with the wrong date. Soon we’ll also release another option to move all your users to the new issue view all at once. Learn more about managing the transition to the new issue view

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.

Enhanced invite visibility

We’ve made it easier to add your teammates from the dropdown People menu in the top navigation of Confluence and Jira Software.

New issue view for Jira Service Management

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.

Use keyboard shortcuts in your queues

Use keyboard shortcuts to navigate around your queues and get your work done faster. You can now move through issues, select their fields, and go to the issue view from your queues just by using your keyboard!

New version of Automation for Jira Service Management

A new version of automation is now available. With more styles, advanced triggers, conditions, actions, and the ability to work across different Atlassian products - you can access these new features via Automation, under Automation settings. Some users will also be able to access existing rules within their old settings. These old settings have been renamed Legacy Automation. Learn more about what's changed in Automation

Knowledge base settings refresh

The Knowledge base settings page has been updated - we’ve made some layout adjustments to refresh the page. Go to Project settings > Knowledge base to check it out.

Request approval from approvers associated with a service

When configuring approvals for a workflow in the new IT service management template, admins can now allow approvers associated with a service to flag, review, and approve changes to reduce the risk of impacting service quality. Learn how to request approval from approvers associated with a service.

Get started quicker with the 'Quickstart' panel

Knowing what to do first when you create a new kind of project can be tricky. That’s why we’ve introduced the ‘Quickstart’ panel - a handy side panel filled with easy-to-follow steps and links to documentation to get you up and running as quickly as possible.

If you’d rather look at it later, then simply select ‘Close Quickstart’ at the bottom of panel - then you can always open it back up through your Settings (:coggmail in the top right.

Welcome tour for Jira Service Management

Admins will now be greeted with an optional welcome tour the first time they enter Jira Service Management or create a new IT service management template. Let us show you what to look out for!

Set up a custom Microsoft email address using OAuth

If you’re a Jira site admin, you can now add a custom Microsoft email account using OAuth instead of an application-specific password. Learn how to add a custom email account.

See your On-call schedule within Jira Service Management

Agents can now quickly see who's on-call by going to the ‘On-call’ page under the ‘Operations’ heading in their project’s sidebar navigation. If the On-call section isn’t visible in the navigation, an admin might need to enable it. Learn how to make Alerts and On-call scheduling visible in your project.

Add Alerts and On-call to non-ITSM projects

We're adding a new ‘Features’ section to your project settings where you can enable Alerts and On-call scheduling within Jira Service Management. These features come out-of-the-box for IT service management projects but can be enabled in other non-ITSM projects such as those for external support, HR, or legal teams. Once enabled, you’ll see them under the ‘Operations’ heading in your sidebar navigation.

Go to Project settings (⚙️) > Features to check it out, or learn how to make Alerts and On-call scheduling visible in your project.

Jira issue URLs are converted to smart links

When you paste a Jira issue link into a Confluence page, the URL is converted to a smart link that displays the page icon and the page title. This works if the Jira and Confluence sites are linked or if they are both cloud versions.

Feel refreshed when browsing the space directory

The space directory is THE place to go in Confluence when you want to see all spaces that are available to you. The filters and actions available have been updated to make it easier to find a space you are looking for. You can also review the spaces here and watch or star the ones that are important to you. If you are a space or product administrator, you can get to space settings from here without going to each space.

Convert pages to use the new editor

You can now convert your existing pages that were created using the legacy editor to use the new editing experience! Learn more

Advanced Roadmaps for Jira plan macro

To learn more, read our documentation on Sharing roadmaps.

See and interact with inline comments when editing a page

✍️ To make life easier for page authors who need to implement feedback added as an inline comment, you can now see the inline comments when editing a page. This means that you can see the comments in context, reply to them, resolve them, and delete them. :celebrate:

A simpler way to create content

Now you can create a new page with just one click. Browse or search for templates right in the editor or get straight to work on a blank page.

Improve the appearance of hyperlinks with Smart links and Smart cards

You can use Smart links and Smart cards to make your links stand out while providing meaningful details that keep readers on your page. Learn more

We've hidden the Like button on archived pages

When you archive a page, you’re signaling to your team that this page is outdated or otherwise no longer relevant to current work. Since no one should be paying attention to or engaging with these pages, we’ve hidden the Like button so no new likes can be added.

You’ll still be able to see all likes the page accrued up until it was archived.

New loading experience for page buttons

We've improved the loading experience of page buttons like the "Edit" pencil, the star, and Share so they don't move around while the page is loading.

Archive all nested pages in one action

Page archiving enters its next phase with nested archiving. For any page you archive, if it has any nested pages, you’ll have the option to include all of them with the original page selected. Pages archived together will maintain their visual hierarchy in the archived pages list, to preserve the context in which they were organized in the page tree.

You’ll have the same option to include all nested pages when restoring any page in the archive back to the page tree.

You can use nested archiving on the premium plan.

Better visibility into permissions limitations on pages

Page restrictions just got a lot clearer. In special situations where a user’s view or edit access is restricted, Confluence will now tell you why. So it’ll be easier for you to see (and fix!) when:

• a user needs to be given permission to view a parent page before they’ll be able to view the current page
• a user needs to be given permission at the space level to view pages in the space before they’ll be able to view the current page
• a user needs permission at the space level to edit pages in the space before they’ll be able to edit the current page

Learn more about page restrictions.

Improvements to the people menu

We’re gradually rolling out some tweaks to the People menu. The Invite your teammates button is now named Add people. You’ll find the button a little further up the menu.

When you add new users to Confluence from the Add People button, your site settings determine whether they’re invited or sent an access request.

Find the perfect template for any project

Now you can browse templates in any space across your site from the easy-to-access template gallery. Just select Templates from the global navigation menu to.

Recommending pages to archive

We’ve added a notification email that’ll recommend archiving pages excluded by a bulk archiving action.

With the ability to archive a page and all of its nested pages (a whole branch of the page tree), sometimes not all pages in the branch can be included. This happens when the archiver either doesn’t have permission to view a nested page or doesn’t have permission to archive a nested page, which results in these pages being left behind in the page tree.

If you created any of these “left behind” pages, we’ll let you know in the email and give you a quick way to archive them!

Begin template previews rollout to customers

Now you can preview templates in the editor before you select them. Just hover over the name of the template you’d like to see.

Page actions have been reorganized

When you are viewing a page, there are a lot of things that you can see and do. The more important and useful actions are represented as icons at the top of the page. Actions that you use less frequently or those that are used by fewer people are tucked away in the More actions ( ••• ) menu. The actions available there have been reorganized into more logical sections — actions, key metadata, and advanced details.

The following actions were removed as their functionality was achieved elsewhere:

• Restrictions — use the lock icon to the left of the Share button
• Link to this Page — continue to use the shortcut key k to launch the Link to this Page modal, copy the page link from the Share dialog box, or copy the URL from the browser
• View in hierarchy — use the Space sidebar to navigate to Space Settings > Content Tools > Reorder pages where you can view all pages in the space and reorder them

If your site contains 3rd party actions, those will be at the bottom.

We'll let you know if you have connection issues

The beauty of a cloud product is that you can connect from anywhere. The downside is that not all connections are created equally. To help you know when you there’s a connection issue when you are editing, a new banner displays at the top of the page, and any changes you make during a single author editing session are saved when you reconnect. To avoid experiencing any strange conflicts during sessions when multiple people editing, the editing experience will be disabled.

Search for any page or blog when adding a link using the new editor

When adding a link using the new editor, you can search for any page or blog in your site in addition to pasting a URL or picking a recently viewed Confluence page or blog.

We're adding an Apps section in space navigation

The new Apps section in the space navigation pane shows your installed Connect and Forge apps. Space admins can customize which apps are visible and change the display order of the apps in the space.

See where your page lives

Easily see the context of your page using the breadcrumb at the top.

You can bulk archive up to 500 pages at a time

To ensure Confluence performs at the highest level for you, we’ve limited the amount of pages you can archive or restore using our bulk archive or bulk restore features to 500 pages at a time. We hope to increase the limit soon!

Enhanced invite visibility

We’ve made it easier to add your teammates from the dropdown People menu in the top navigation of Confluence and Jira Software.
