Atlassian Cloud changes Jun 27 to Jul 4, 2022

These changes have recently been rolled out to Atlassian Cloud sites.

Changes labeled ROLLING OUT are being gradually rolled out and may not be on your site just yet.

Atlassian Cloud

Your cloud-hosted products are supported by the Atlassian Cloud platform. This section usually includes changes related to multiple Atlassian Cloud products, site administration, and user management.

Control your workflow more easily by connecting one or more identity providers

ROLLING OUT

We’re giving you the ability to manage a variety of business and information security requirements. You’ll now have the flexibility to connect more than one identity provider to your Atlassian organization. We also simplified the workflow for managing user authentication and provisioning. You can now do it from one place.

You now have two types of directories for managing users in your organization: a local directory and an identity provider directory. The key changes are:

  • We moved user login and sync to the new Identity providers screen
  • You have two authentication policies by default: one for your local directory and one for your identity provider
  • We automatically associate your domain’s user accounts with a linked directory.

Learn more about identity providers

To see your identity provider directory, go to admin.atlassian.com > Security > Identity providers.

G Suite becomes Google Workspace

COMING SOON

We’re changing G Suite in your organization administration by renaming G Suite to Google Workspace in the product and in support documents, moving G Suite to the new Identity providers screen, and giving you two authentication policies out-of-the-box: one for your local directory and one for your identity provider.

Learn more about Google Workspace

Wrangle your Atlassian Access subscription costs

ROLLING OUT

We’re giving you the ability to set a non-billable authentication policy as the default. You can use a non-billable policy when you don’t want to pay for certain users. A non-billable authentication policy includes limited security settings.

Learn more about authentication policies

To see your authentication policies, go to admin.atlassian.com > Security > Authentication policies.

Jira platform

Changes in this section usually apply to all Jira products. We'll tell you in the change description if something is only for a specific Jira product.

Site import migration: new import progress reporting

ROLLING OUT NEW THIS WEEK

We’ve updated the page where you track the import progress of your database backups into Jira Cloud. The page is designed to give you a clear view of migration stages, including what hasn’t started, what's in progress, and what’s successful.

Bug fixes to team-managed issues in backlog

ROLLING OUT NEW THIS WEEK

This bug fix corrects unexpected behavior with issues in team-managed projects. Bug fix details:

  • Team-managed epics and base-level issues on company-managed backlogs will render the same way as issues from company-managed projects.
  • Team-managed base-level issues now show in the backlog (previously they were not included).
  • Team-managed base-level issues are displayed in the same way as company-managed base-level issues. Previously, team-managed base level issues with a parent were displayed in the same way as subtasks.

New request type configuration experience

ROLLING OUT

Configure your request forms with ease, using a fresh drag and drop experience!

Learn how to configure your request types.

QR code enabled in Insight for Jira Service Management

ROLLING OUT

To help you manage physical assets, we've added the ability to print QR codes to Insight in Jira Service Management Cloud. Printed QR codes can be applied to physical assets and then scanned to quickly find information about that object in Insight.

You can print QR codes for multiple objects by selecting Bulk actions > Print QR codes.

Learn more about printing QR codes in Insight for Jira Service Management Cloud.

Issue view: Expands in fields and comments

ROLLING OUT

You can now use expands in fields and comments on the issue view. Your team can use expands to show and hide long or secondary information that doesn't need to always be displayed. To try it out, start editing a text field or comment and select + > Expand in the editor toolbar.

New Import Jira Server and Import Jira Cloud screens replaces the Restore system screen

ROLLING OUT

The Restore system option, also commonly referred to as Site Import enabled you to import:

  • Jira server backup files to migrate from Jira server to cloud
  • Jira cloud backup files to reset the cloud site among other reasons

Recently, we announced that Site Import won’t be available for some users looking to import server backups to migrate from server to cloud. To make sure that users who want to import cloud backups aren’t impacted, we’ve now split Site Import into two screens.

  • To import server backups, go to Settings > System > Import Jira Server
  • To import cloud backups, go to Settings > System > Import Jira Cloud

Limiting the number of child issues displayed on the issue view

ROLLING OUT

To plan for a future performance improvement, we’re limiting the number of child issues displayed on an issue to 100. You can still have more than 100 child issues on an issue, but you’ll have to view them in search.

Full page notifications

You can now view and manage notifications from a single page. From the notifications page, you can view the latest updates and filter past notifications by product.

To open the full page view of your notifications:

  1. Select Notifications (bell icon) in the navigation
  2. Select the Open in a new tab icon

Company-managed projects: Easily find issues after you've created them

ROLLING OUT

Have you ever created an issue on a board in a company-managed project, and wondered where it went? "Why can't I see it on the board"? you may have asked. Well, that scenario is history, my friend. Now, when you create an issue on a board, a flag will appear and notify you if the issue isn't visible on the board, and explain why. (For example, perhaps it was assigned to a different sprint, or your board has active filters which exclude it.) The flag will also include a link to view the issue, and a link to add it to your current sprint (if applicable).

Push notifications can now be time-sensitive on iOS

ROLLING OUT

Collaboration just got faster in the Jira Cloud app for iOS. Direct mentions and ‘assigned to you’ push notifications can now be treated as time-sensitive, which means you’ll receive them even if your notifications are snoozed. Disable time-sensitive notifications via system settings.

Quickly see whether additional forms have been added to your request form

ROLLING OUT

When configuring the request form for a request type, any forms added to it will now appear at the bottom of the page.

Learn more about forms, or how to customize the request form for a request type.

Issue view: Maximum number of displayed child issues increased to 500

ROLLING OUT

We heard feedback that some of you needed to display more than 100 child issues on an issue. That's why we're increasing the maximum number of child issues you can see from an issue to 500. You can still have more than 500 child issues, but you'll have to view them in search.

Create a new team on behalf of others

ROLLING OUT

Cloud-to-cloud migration can help you combine data between two or more cloud sites, split a cloud site into multiple cloud sites, duplicate a cloud site, or move specific projects from one cloud site to another.

Org and site admins can access this feature by logging in to the cloud site you want to move your users and projects from, then going to Settings > System > Migrate cloud site.

Updates to how you create projects in Jira

ROLLING OUT

Creating projects in Jira is now simpler with our new template library. Browse templates across the Jira products you own, with additional information to assist you in finding the template that best fits the way your team works.

Additionally, we’ve renamed our project types (next-gen and classic) to make them clearer and more descriptive:

  • Next-gen projects are now named team-managed projects. The functionality itself remains the same and continue to be ideal for independent teams who want to control their own working processes and practices in a self-contained space.
  • Classic projects are now named company-managed projects. Setup and maintained by Jira admins, company-managed projects remain the best choice for teams who want to work with other teams across many projects in a standard way, such as sharing a workflow.

Team-managed projects: Custom filters for your board and backlog

ROLLING OUT

We’ve introduced custom filters to help you find issues in a busy board and backlog. Powered by Jira Query Language (JQL), project admins can now create saved and reusable search terms to quickly find relevant issues.

Learn more about custom filters in team-managed projects

To get started with custom filters:

1. From your team-managed project, go to Project settings > Board > Custom filters.
2. Create your first custom filter using JQL. If this is your first time using JQL, select ? in the top navigation bar to learn the basics.

Team-managed projects: Set up new statuses without leaving the workflow editor

ROLLING OUT

If you add a new status in the workflow editor, you can now assign it to a board column straight away. You can choose to keep your new status hidden, or drag and drop it to a column so it’s visible on your board and backlog.

Learn how to manage statuses in your workflow

Company-managed projects: Limit sprint selection to relevant sprints

ROLLING OUT

When assigning an issue to a sprint, you can now limit the sprint selection in the sprint dropdown menu on the issue create screen and issue detail screen, so it will only display sprints from the selected project (rather than all sprints from your entire Jira site). Open the sprint dropdown menu in an issue's sprint field, and select Only show sprints in this project.

Jira Roadmaps - Increase issue limit from 3k to 5k issues

ROLLING OUT

Bask in the glory of longer, more detailed project plans. Your project roadmap can now show 5,000 issues instead of the paltry 3,000 issues it could before.

Go to an issue's Linked issues section and select + Create linked issue.

Personalized templates for new teams

ROLLING OUT

We’ve updated our Jira sign up process so that if you’re signing your team up, you can easily access the most useful project templates for your type of work, straight away. By simply selecting your team or function during the sign up stages, we’ll show you different and personalized project templates. For example, if you tell us that you’re part of a marketing team we’ll show you templates designed for event planning, marketing campaigns, go-to-market plans, etc.

You’ll see the most relevant templates straight away, so you’re ready to work and collaborate with Jira from day one.

See all of our available templates.

Set up release automations via the Releases hub

ROLLING OUT

If you use releases and versions to organize your work in Jira Software, you can now set up release automations via the Releases hub and the version details page. Release automations can trigger certain tasks or processes whenever you create, update, release, or unrelease a version in Jira. For example, you can set up an automation rule to create a page in Confluence each time you release a version.

Updated navigation for project settings in Jira Software and Jira Work Management

ROLLING OUT

We’ve reordered items in your project’s left-side navigation to prioritize settings that impact the entire project. Project-level settings have been moved closer to the top, so they’re easier to find. Board and issue-level settings now sit below them. This change is being rolled out to:

  • Jira Software, both company and team-managed projects
  • Jira Work Management, team-managed projects only

From your project's left-side panel, select Project settings to view the updated navigation.

Jira Service Management

Jira Service Desk is now Jira Service Management! We’re in the process of rolling out some exciting new features for all users. Learn more about these new features.

Improved view of knowledge base articles in the portal

ROLLING OUT

Your customers can now view your knowledge base articles in the portal on a wider canvas. The increased width will not just improve the readability of your articles, but will also help images and tables in them to render better.

Suggested knowledge base articles on the portal will now show snippets

ROLLING OUT

The suggested knowledge base articles that your customers see on the portal will now include the most relevant snippets from the articles, determined by AI, to help find the information they need, faster.

Simplified object schema configuration and streamlined importing

ROLLING OUT

Configuring an object schema is now streamlined and simplified. When configuring an object schema, you can create new reference types and statuses by selecting Create a reference or Create a status.

We’ve also simplified how imports are created. To create a new import, select Create import, select your import type, and then select Create. Object types and attributes will be automatically created for you.

On the other hand, if you’d like to create object types and attributes manually, you can turn off Automatically create object types and attributes and map your object types and attributes yourself.

Finally, Process Results has been moved into the Imports tab, where you can see the history of your completed imports by selecting View history.

Learn more about importing objects into Jira Service Management.

Hide email signatures from the issue view and portals

ROLLING OUT

Make sure your team only sees content that is most relevant to them by hiding signatures from requests and comments raised by your customers via email.

Hidden email signatures won't show up in the description or comments in the issue view and in the portal. They will be hidden in an expandable component which you can select to view the signature.

You can let Jira Service Management detect email signatures by default and hide them. You can also choose to specify custom text to be detected.

Learn more about hiding email signatures

Forms: Get the information you need, when you need it

ROLLING OUT

Forms use conditional logic to dynamically show or hide fields, and can include headings, tables, and rich formatting. Use forms in your portal to gather information when a request is raised, or 
add forms to existing issues to gather new information as it’s needed.

We're rolling out forms slowly, so keep an eye out under Project settings (or Service project settings in team-managed projects) for Forms in the navigation on the left.

Another way you can expand or collapse columns on your board is to:

  1. Select ... More at the top right of your board view.
  2. Select Expand all columns or Collapse all columns

The new and improved board view

ROLLING OUT

Check out the new and improved board view in Jira Work Management! Jira Work Management boards are designed to give you an easy and clear way to visualize work. You get a snapshot of project progress, including what work is yet to be started, what's in progress, and what is completed. Easily drag your issue cards throughout the workflow to columns that reflect the relevant status.

Categorize items in your list

You can now organize and break down your team’s work in the list view by grouping your items by category. Use categories to represent a topic or large body of work that can be broken down into a number of work items in Jira Work Management.

To get started, add a new category by:

  1. Selecting the cell in the row of the item you’d like to categorize, under the category field in your list.

You can now search in your board, list, timeline, or calendar views using free text in the search bar. To search, go to the top-right of whichever view you're in and enter what you're searching for.

Hierarchy of items in the list view

ROLLING OUT

We’ve updated the list view to always show the hierarchy of your work, even when you adjust how you'd like to view your list. When you sort, filter, or group the list, child items will stay with their parent items. Plus, the type icons will be nested below each other, so you can clearly see how the items relate to each other.

For example, if you group the list by assignee you’ll see each item listed under the person it’s assigned to. Any subtasks will be nested below their parent item, even if they’re assigned to a different person.

These changes allow you to easily keep track of the hierarchy and relationship between pieces of work, no matter how you organize your list view.

Personalized templates for new teams

ROLLING OUT

We’ve updated our Jira sign up process so that if you’re signing your team up, you can easily access the most useful project templates for your type of work, straight away.

For example, if you tell us that you’re part of a marketing team we’ll show you templates designed for event planning, marketing campaigns, go-to-market plans, etc.

You’ll see the most relevant templates straight away, so you’re ready to work and collaborate with Jira from day one.

Updated navigation for project settings in Jira Software and Jira Work Management

ROLLING OUT

We’ve reordered items in your project’s left-side navigation to prioritize settings that impact the entire project. Project-level settings have been moved closer to the top, so they’re easier to find. Board and issue-level settings now sit below them. This change is being rolled out to:

  • Jira Software, both company and team-managed projects
  • Jira Work Management, team-managed projects only

From your project's left-side panel, select Project settings to view the updated navigation.

Confluence

Invite guests for external collaboration (early access)

ROLLING OUT

External collaboration is a Confluence feature that lets your team collaborate with people that are “external” in some way, such as a client or a contractor. It’s a secure way to open your Confluence instance to anyone you need to work with.

And the way you do that is you invite them as guests.

Guests have limited access to your instance. Unlike regular users who have a broad level of access by default, guests only have access to the spaces to which they have been specifically assigned access.

Guests also have limited access to user information for your regular “internal” users.

Note: External collaboration is in the process of rolling out as part of an early access program for customers on the premium plan.

Learn more about external collaboration.

Recommending pages to archive

ROLLING OUT

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!

See when page or blog post changes were last saved as you edit

ROLLING OUT

As you are editing your pages and blogs in Confluence, you'll get real-time updates at the top right of the toolbar that let you know when the content was saved. Confluence is always saving the work you do, so that you don't have to publish the page to make sure your work is safe.

If there is more than one person editing at the same time, you'll see when the content was saved last whether you or a collaborator made the changes that were saved.

Turn your table data into charts

ROLLING OUT

Being able to visualize the data in a table is a powerful way to quickly summarize and communicate complicated information. The chart types available are bar, line, and pie.

After you’ve created a table, you can insert a chart based on the table data. Once the chart has been created, it’s connected to the table, so if that table data changes, the chart will change too.

To create a chart from a table:

  1. Select a table and select the Insert chart icon.
  2. Select the chart and choose Chart options to change the chart type, style, and more.

Be more expressive with panels

ROLLING OUT

In addition to the five preset panel options, you can customize panels by choosing one of the 20 background colors available.

Panels can have emojis, or you can remove the emoji to meet the needs of your content. The emojis available to you are the same set that you already use in Confluence; this includes custom emojis you and your teammates added.

1. Add a panel to a page by typing /custom panel or by selecting Custom panel from the insert menu.

2. Use the floating toolbar to choose a background color and pick an emoji if you want one.

Add a status to your page

ROLLING OUT

By giving your content a status, you can help set expectations for viewers and collaborators when they come to a page. There are a few basic statuses that are available by default and content creators/editors can also add custom statuses that make sense for their team or project.

The admin of the space has the ultimate control over the statuses in their space. The space admin can turn off statuses completely, prevent people in the space from adding new statuses, and suggest certain statuses for creators and editors.

If a space admin allows statuses in your space, you can select them at the top of the page when editing. Adding or changing a status is not available to viewers of a page.

Better interactions for space shortcuts

ROLLING OUT

Space shortcuts are curated links always visible in a space’s side navigation. They make it easy to find important and frequently accessed content.

In this improved experience, new and existing shortcuts will show the icon identifying the kind of content they lead to. We also made it easy to organize shortcuts with drag and drop to reorder and the quick remove option.

Shortcuts live on the space sidebar. Only space admins can edit shortcuts. Learn more about customizing your space

Automatically get a personal space

ROLLING OUT

A personal space in Confluence is a place of your own to jot down new ideas, introduce yourself to your team, keep track of tasks, store important items or files, polish content before sharing with others, and more.

You can choose to leave the space open for others to visit and collaborate, or you can restrict the pages so that no one else can see them.

If you don't already have a personal space, one will be created for you after you've logged in and viewed a page. There are three ways to get to your personal space:

  • Select Spaces in the global navigation bar. Your personal space is automatically starred for easy access.
  • Select your profile icon at the top right of the global navigation bar and select Personal Space.
  • Select Home in the global navigation bar. All starred spaces are shown on the right.

Learn more about personal spaces

Paste urls as plain text in the editor

ROLLING OUT

You can now use Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + v when pasting content to stop links from becoming Smart Links when using the editor.

Use this command to paste copy or links to keep urls in their original format. You can also use Cmd/Ctrl + z to change a link back to its original url if it has already converted to a Smart Link.

Full page notifications

ROLLING OUT

You can now view and manage notifications from a single page. From the notifications page, you can view the latest updates and filter past notifications by product.

NEW THIS WEEK

You can now create and edit custom fields directly in Compass. Custom fields enable you to record component details that are valuable to your teams but aren’t available in Compass’s default fields. With custom fields, you can describe and classify a component in a way that’s relevant to your team’s needs.
