Advanced Roadmaps for Jira - Create new plans with ease

It’s never been easier to create a plan with relevant issues for your planning needs. With the new plan creation wizard, we’ve streamlined the process and redesigned the look and feel. We’ve also added new pages to the Configure menu so you can easily edit the plan’s scope at any time.

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.

New issue view: Issue actions (or "looped" transitions) are now available

Issue actions, where a transition allows you to perform an action but keep the issue in its current status, are now available next to the new issue view's status bar at the top right of an issue. If your issue's workflow has action(s), you'll see either the name of the action (if you have one action) or an Actions dropdown (if you have more than one action). Learn more about transitioning issues

Enable the insights button on Next-Gen boards

Premium plan customers, look out for Insights on your board and backlog. This new, data-driven feature helps you adapt existing processes, drive better outcomes, and plan with confidence.

It’s really fresh and the team behind it's eager for feedback. Get in there, give it a go, and share your experience. It honestly changes things.

Learn more about insights in next-gen projects.

Date range filter for your deployments

Are you concerned about past deployments and wish there was an option to extract and view data for a specific timeframe? Go to Deployments view and click the Calendar icon to make it possible. Use the power of date range filter, now.

Manage and edit portal groups and request types faster

You can now add request types to portal groups directly from the request types page, and see which portal groups and issue types your request types are in at a glance with additional columns. We’ve also added new filters to the request types page so that you can filter your request types by keyword, issue type, or portal group.

Devops Container Linking

When creating a Jira project, users will be shown an option to “make it a connected project” which allows them to create and link containers in other tools, including:

• Bitbucket repositories
• A Confluence space
• An Opsgenie team

Get insights into your cycle time for deployments

Do you struggle with the latest information on how much time you take work to get from branch to production? Here you go with an advanced Insights panel inside your Deployments view. Get a thorough understanding of the Cycle time in the palm of your hand. Learn how to make the best use of the Insights panel.

Access the Incident Command Center from your major incident queue

The Incident Command Center (ICC) is a video and voice call tool that allows you and your team to swarm on major incidents, helping you to communicate easily and directly with relevant teams. You can now access the ICC directly from Jira Service Management in your ongoing major incidents queue by selecting ‘Join’ or ‘Start’ in the Command Center column to join an existing or create a new ICC session.

Refine and reset your search results in a project

Find issues in your project even faster with the new Status Category quick filter. Filter by status category—To do, In progress, or Done—along with the existing quick filters for Assignee, Status, and Type. Select Show full list to view the list of available options under these quick filters. Unhappy with your search results? Select Reset to clear your search criteria.

Replacing the media picker with your system's file upload

We're removing the media picker dialog, which appears when you click the Files and images button in Bitbucket Cloud, Confluence Cloud, and Jira Cloud products, and replacing it with your system’s built-in file upload dialog. We’ve observed that very few people use the media picker, with most people preferring to drag and drop or paste files onto pages and issues. You’ve also shared feedback with us that, in some cases, the media picker doesn’t work the way you’d like it to.

Importantly, you can still link to files from services like Dropbox and Google Drive. Paste a link on your page or issue and we’ll create a handy smart link to it so the latest version is always available.

You can read more about this change and leave feedback for the team in the Community post.

New issue view: Resolution date at the bottom of an issue

The new issue view now displays the resolution date for resolved issues. You can find it at the bottom of an issue, underneath the Created and Updated dates.

Next-gen: Time estimation is on its way

The whole shebang isn’t ready just yet, but that’s no reason to hold out on what we do have.

For now, you can add the original estimate field to your issues, estimate the time that work will take, and do a JQL query to find specifics related to time.

To add the original estimate field:

1. If you’re not there, navigate to your next-gen project.
2. From your project sidebar, select Project settings.
3. In Project settings, select Issue types.
4. In the Fields panel, select Original estimate.
5. Drag, then drop the field where you’d like it to appear.
6. Save, close, and estimate away!

Sit tight. There’s more to come.

Hit refresh to update your board faster in classic projects

Say hello to faster board updates for your classic projects. Click the refresh button on the board to stay up-to-date on your issues, without loading the whole page.

Enhanced release notes functionality

Access the enhanced release notes functionality 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.

Anonymous access check for Jira Site Import

This new security check will notify in advance if projects, dashboards, and filters are prone to anonymous access post migration. Anonymous access means that the data will be available to the public and searchable online. You can choose whether or not to grant public access before the migration.

To review affected projects, dashboards, and filters, you can download the .csv file.

Roadmap: Drag and drop story-level issues

Why yes, you can rearrange story-level issues directly on your roadmap. Just grab the issue, drag it, then drop it. Either adjust the issue’s rank in its current epic or move it to a new one. All these tricks to make roadmap maintenance a total breeze.

New issue view: Epic Status field is now available

The Epic Status custom field can now be displayed on the new issue view. Just get your Jira admin to add the Epic Status field to a screen, and it'll be displayed on all issues using that screen (if the field isn't hidden by a project admin). Learn more about adding custom fields to screens.

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 the 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.

Make changes to multiple linked spaces at once

Save time and work more efficiently by making changes to multiple linked spaces at once. You can now select multiple spaces and unlink them or change who can view them by going to Project settings > Knowledge base.

Learn more about linking multiple spaces to your service project.

Star queues for quick and easy access

ROLLING OUT

Any queues you star will show in the Starred group in your project sidebar. The rest of your queues will appear in the Other group. Learn more about starring your favorite queues.

Soon, admins will be able to group and organize queues in the new Manage queues feature. Until then, re-ordering queues will be temporarily unavailable.

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.

Easily sort templates before selecting the right one

When you create a new page, you can now select the best template for the kind of content you’re composing. To make this template browsing experience more efficient, we’ve added a Sort by selector. Browse the templates Confluence recommends based on your usage, or sort the templates alphabetically by title.

Modernized move page dialog

Moving your published pages and blogs is an important decision. To help you feel more confident when doing this, the experience has been simplified and updated. A link to our product documentation was also added to support you in digging deeper into the details of the behavior.

People listed in page restrictions display alphabetically

We’ve made it easier to peruse the lists of people in page restrictions. They’re alphabetical by the first letter of the person’s first name. So if you’re looking for someone in particular in a long list, you can hone in on them much more quickly by using where their name falls in the alphabet. It’s also much easier to tell if someone’s missing from the list.
