Updates to how you create projects in Jira

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 continues 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.

To create your sample plan, select Create sample plan from the Plans dropdown menu.

Advanced Roadmaps - New navigation

Advanced Roadmaps has a new look that makes it look and feel more like the rest of Jira Software.

To state it simply, the nav now lives on the left-hand side. This new layout opens Advanced Roadmaps up to a whole new world of designs and new features (whoops, not sure if I was supposed to say that 🤭).

Even though this is rollout to all users, we'd still love to hear your thoughts about how it effects your work, or your ideas for improvements. Use the Give feedback button which is still located in the upper right of your screen.

If you opted in the Early Access Program from last month, you won't notice a change. However, this layout is now the new default view for Advanced Roadmaps and can no longer be disabled.

Read more about these changes in our community post.

Now you can keep your whole team up to date when you link your Jira Software project’s releases to a Jira Work Management calendar.

This is especially useful for communicating to a cross-functional team that includes both business teams and software teams.

Your teammates will be able to see release statuses, release dates and issue progress for all the releases in your Jira Software project.

And when you make changes to a release in Jira Software, the Jira Work Management calendar will be updated automatically.

The new Top-level planning template

We've released a new project template to help Premium customers get started planning work across their organization. The Top-level planning template uses existing Jira Software data create a high-level overview of their organization’s work by:

• creating a pre-configured project with an issue hierarchy level above Epic called Initiative

• creating a pre-configured plan with the above project as the issue source and

• demonstrating how to connect existing epics to your newly-created initiatives

We talk more about this template in our community post – which you can read here!

You can still view the details of the template by selecting See details.

We've also redesigned the form and put some of the more advanced settings in an accordion.

For company-managed projects, these settings include:

• Project key (auto-generated using your project name)
• "Use settings from an existing project"

For team-managed projects, these settings include:

• Access settings (set to private by default)
• Default language (set to the site language by default)
• Project key (auto-generated using your project name)

Add a custom domain for your help center

Use your own domain for the Jira Service Management help center. For example, your customers could use 'customer.support.acme.com/<path name>' (or optionally be redirected from 'support.acme.com') instead of 'acme.atlassian.net/<path name>' to access the help center.

Enjoy stronger brand recognition for your help center, boost credibility and search engine optimization, and offer a customized experience to your help seekers. This greater discoverability will help your customers get to the right place and get the assistance they need.

These results are AI-powered, so some results may not be relevant or helpful to you. To help improve results, you can give feedback by reacting 👍 or 👎 to a result.

Introducing customer notification logs

Using customer notification logs in Jira Service Management, project admins can easily find out which notifications weren’t received by their customers and take necessary actions to ensure that their customers get notifications on time.

To access customer notification logs, go to your service project, and select Customer notification logs. Here you’ll find details like the name of the notification, when it was sent, and why it wasn’t delivered.

Be more expressive with panels

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.

Automatically get a personal space

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.

Control what you see in your products

Product recommendations now have controls, so now you can dismiss them or learn more about why you’re seeing them. These controls are being added to the recommendations in the app switcher menu which means you'll have more control and receive better product recommendations.

You can select the three dots next to the recommendation to learn why we have recommended it or to dismiss it entirely.

The recommendation controls will first be released to both Free and Standard teams of up to 50 users. Note: Only admins will be able to add a new product by clicking on the recommendation.

Use the new comment navigation dropdown to help you save time reviewing PRs

We are incrementally rolling this out to all Bitbucket Cloud customers, beginning with 25% of current customers. In order to help you get to the comment(s) you're looking for and decrease the time spent reviewing pull requests, we've added the ability to navigate comments associated with the diff on a pull request. To display the list of comments on a diff, select the Comments dropdown above the diff header. To go to a particular comment, select the comment from the list in the dropdown.

Notice that any unresolved comments are listed first with comments that have been resolved aggregated in their own list below. Note: Outdated comments will be labeled as such in the list of comments.

Bitbucket Pipelines variable description

Now you can add a variable description for your Bitbucket Pipeline by configuring the 'description' field for the variable in the bitbucket-pipelines.yml file. The variable description you have provided is displayed under the variable in the Run Pipeline dialog.
