Advanced Roadmaps for Jira - A new way to re-rank issues in bulk

We’ve added a new way to re-rank issues in bulk. Now, once you’ve selected the issues you want to re-rank, you can use the More (•••) menu to quickly move your issues. Learn how to use this new feature on Editing multiple issues in bulk.

Enable Code automatically

After linking code repositories with your Jira project, you can:

• See repositories from third-party providers on the Code page.
• Manage your third-party app integrations through code settings.

To configure your connection flows, select More options (•••) on the Code page of your project. Learn more about the Code in Jira feature.

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

As an admin, you’ll soon receive an option to move your users to the new issue view all at once before March 31, 2021. To take advantage of that option, you need to delay new issue view reminders in our new issue view transition page. That way your users don’t receive pop-up reminders in Jira with the wrong date. Learn more about managing the transition to the new issue view

Next-gen: Epic panel in backlog

You can now manage epics on the backlog of your next-gen project via the Epics panel, similar to how epic management works in classic Jira Software projects. Changes you make in the panel on the backlog will reflect on the Roadmap, and vice-versa.

Issue collector matches the submitter's user session differently in Chrome

We’ve adapted our issue collectors to the Chrome browser’s new cookie security features and made some changes to how they work. The issue collector no longer matches a submitter’s user session to make them the reporter, but 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.

Advanced Roadmaps for Jira - Sort by custom fields

This update brings the ability to sort by custom fields to Advanced roadmaps on cloud. Once they’re configured for your plan, you can use the following custom field types as filters:

• single-choice select
• multiple-choice select
• checkbox
• radio button
• label

Visit Filtering issues to learn more about filtering by custom fields.

New issue view: Estimates for time tracking apps

The new issue view now displays a field for the estimated time remaining when you use time tracking apps. To try it out, install your favorite time tracking app, go to an issue, and check it out yourself.

Epics filtering for deployment pipelines

Apply the magic of advanced filtering with options such as Environment, Epic, Type, and Deployments settings to configure your Deployments view. Now you can drill-down to your deployments against issues with more precision and control at the level of epics and issue types. You can also sort the issues without deployment information. Learn more about the Deployments feature

Connection flows with third-party repositories

After linking code repositories with your Jira project, you can:

• See repositories from third-party providers on the Code page.
• Manage your third-party app integrations through code settings.

To configure your connection flows, select More options (•••) on the Code page of your project. Learn more about the Code in Jira feature.

Advanced Roadmaps for Jira - Export to CSV

You can now export your Advanced Roadmaps data to a .csv file for easy sharing within your organization. Learn more in our documentation about Sharing and exporting your roadmap.

Advanced Roadmaps for Jira - Advanced Fields Menu

This update brings the advanced fields menu to Advanced Roadmaps on cloud. The new and improved fields menu allows you to add custom fields from Jira and reorder the fields listed in your menu.

For more information, see our documentation on Displaying issue details.

Advanced Roadmaps for Jira - Enhanced warning center

The new enhanced warning center feature gives you deeper insights into scheduling conflicts within your plan. Choose which warnings you want to see, filter by warning type, and more with this detailed interactive menu.

To learn more, visit the Viewing warnings page.

New issue view: Find work from your entire Jira site in the editor

In the new issue view’s editor, you can now link work from your entire Jira site and not just recent items. To try it out, go to an issue, open the editor (by, for example, clicking into a description field or starting a comment), and click the link button in the toolbar. From there, you can search your entire Jira site for work.

DMARC email validation for Free accounts

If you’re a Jira Service Management Cloud Free customer and joined after December 2, 2020, you’ll automatically get DMARC sender verification to help prevent your project from being used to send spam or phishing emails. Learn more about how Jira Service Management processes email requests.

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 release notes functionality

Presenting an enhanced release notes functionality that you can access from the Releases feature by navigating to Releases > Version > Release notes. The revised Release notes page in your Jira Software project provides you with the following options:

• Create release notes in the markdown format
• Regenerate release notes based on layout and issue types
• Format and update release notes in the editor
• Copy the release notes to the clipboard

Learn how to create release notes

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.

Roadmap: Right-click an issue to clear its start and due date

Due dates change (because change is the only constant in life). Pretend those dates never were by right-clicking your issue directly from the roadmap. Make all the dates disappear, or just the start date or due date.

Learn more about managing dates on the roadmap in classic and next-gen projects.

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!

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.

Link multiple Confluence spaces to your knowledge base

It’s here! You can now link more than one Confluence space to your knowledge base. Organize your articles more efficiently and help your customers faster than ever with the redesigned knowledge base settings page. Admins can now create a space from their service projects, link multiple existing spaces at once, set individual space permissions, and manage article suggestions better. And agents can now filter articles by linked spaces.

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 - you can always open it back up through your Settings (cog) in the top right.

Welcome tour for Jira Service Management

Admins will 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.

Your sidebar navigation now has sections

We’ve updated the sidebar navigation of your projects with sections and headings to help you find what you’re looking for faster. Under the ‘Operations’ heading, you’ll find Services, On-call, and Alerts (if they’ve been enabled). Under ‘Knowledge’, you’ll find your knowledge base and reports, and under ‘Customers & people' you’ll see your channels, team invite, and Customers page. You can also add your own shortcuts to other websites or apps under ‘Shortcuts’.

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.

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

Confluence mobile: Undo or redo what you've typed on iOS

Made a mistake? (Don’t worry, we all do.) Now you’ll find convenient undo/redo buttons in the editor.

A simpler way to create content

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

Hiding 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 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

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 start browsing.

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!

Edit existing comments on mobile

Now you can edit existing comments with ease, right in the palm of your hand.

Template previews in the editor

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 third-party actions, those will be at the bottom.

Aggregate decisions in one place

Being able to add Decision elements to pages created using the new editor was good, but you didn’t have an easy way to gather up those decisions in one place until now. Wherever you need to see specific decisions that make sense to the content of your page, insert the Decision report macro from the toolbar or the slash command menu. You can use filters to focus on the pages whose decisions make sense to you.

Since decisions are often made during meetings, the macro was also added to the Meeting notes page that is auto-generated in each space; this auto-generated page serves as the index that lists any pages created from a meeting notes template anywhere in the space, which is particularly handy if meeting notes need to be in different parts of your page tree.

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.

Bulk archive up to 500 pages at a time

To ensure Confluence performs at the highest level, we’ve limited the amount of pages you can bulk archive or bulk restore 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.

Confluence Android - Release 1.85

Commenting on Confluence Mobile has a fresh look. We've updated the look and feel for Like, Reply, and the overflow menu.

Steps in parallel groups now support manual triggers

We now allow steps with a manual trigger to be used in parallel groups. This means more flexibility in Pipelines, as it allows you to have pipelines with multiple options and then only run the steps you actually need to run at the time you want. This is one of the highest requested features for Bitbucket Pipelines. Thank you for your dedication and votes.

Updates to pull request attachments

You can now attach any size or type of file to pull requests in Bitbucket Cloud, and any changes to attachments are now displayed in the Activity feed on the right sidebar. This feature was added per the following suggestion: BCLOUD-15202.
