Prevent your team from using new Bitbucket workspaces without your approval

You can now proactively manage product requests for Bitbucket from admin.atlassian.com. This feature provides you with more oversight to control Shadow IT and billing.

After you select admin review required, you can approve or deny new Bitbucket requests from your managed accounts. This gives you greater control over where your team does their work.

This is available for Bitbucket as part of a beta program. It’s also available for Jira, Jira Service Management, Confluence, and Trello with an Enterprise subscription.

Prevent people from downloading attached files

Data security policies allow you to use rules to control how users, apps, and people outside the organization interact with content in Confluence and Jira.

We’re extending the data export rule to also block the downloading of files attached to Confluence and Jira. After this rule takes effect, users will no longer find a download button in sections like the attachment list, macros, and file previews.

We opted to extend the data export rule rather than introduce a new one because of the considerable overlap between export and download. Our findings showed that the types organizations needing to block exports also wanted to prevent attachment downloads.

This change will affect any existing policies that have configured the data export rule to block exports.

The data export rule requires Atlassian Guard Standard.

To check whether your data security policies currently block exports:

1. Go to admin.atlassian.com. Select your organization if you have more than one.
2. Select Security > Data security policies.
3. Select a policy, and check whether exporting data is blocked.

By default, this setting is enabled, which allows data sharing for all new app installations. However, admins can choose to enable or disable this setting at any time from the Connected apps page, even before a new app is installed on to a site. Admins can also configure this setting for individual apps at any time.

We're renaming 'products' to 'apps'

At Team ‘25, we announced a shift in how we think about and refer to our suite of individual products, now called ‘Atlassian apps’, or ‘apps’ for short.

We’ve started rolling out this terminology change (from ‘products’ to ‘apps’) across Atlassian Administration experiences. Over the coming months, we’ll continue to roll this out to admin emails, support documentation, audit logs, URLs, and more. You may see both terms used as we work through this change.

The way you manage Atlassian apps like Jira and Confluence in Atlassian Administration remains unchanged.

Fix broken links after migrating from one cloud site to another

When migrating Jira Cloud or Confluence Cloud to a different site, some links between individual entities may break due to changes in the URL. This typically includes:

Your organization-wide default data classification level now applies to Jira

Data classification is the process of categorizing the sensitivity of information.

Previously, a default data classification level could only be applied to Confluence apps. We've now expanded this to include Jira, allowing you to set a default data classification level across both apps. This level will automatically apply to all unclassified content within these apps.

If you've already set a default data classification for your organization, it will now apply to all unclassified content in Jira, in addition to Confluence. If no organization-wide default classification level is set, content in Confluence and Jira will remain unclassified by default. However, you still have the option to set a default data classification level for specific spaces and projects.

Data classification is a feature that requires Atlassian Guard Premium.

To apply a default data classification level across Confluence and Jira in your organization:

1. Go to Atlassian Administration. Select your organization if you have more than one.
2. Select Security > Data classification.
3. Select More actions (•••) > Manage settings.
4. Choose the classification level.
5. Select Update.

New activities added to audit log in Atlassian Administration (July edition)

Improved usability and performance of group profiles

We made group profiles easier to use. This change applies to customers who have the centralized user management experience.

You’ll find the group description and summary of members and apps in a card, similar to a user profile. We moved the Members and Apps tables into tabs. You can now choose how many members or apps to show in each table, so you can see as many as you want at a glance. This update also adds search and filters to help you find certain members or apps when there are many results.

More user management improvements

To go to a group’s profile:

1. Go to Atlassian Administration. Select your organization if you have more than one.
2. Select Directory > Groups.
3. Select the group.

Improved usability and performance of the groups list

We made improvements to the organization’s groups list so it’s easier to use. This change applies to customers who have the centralized user management experience.

Use the Apps filter to find groups that grant roles to a specific app. Add users or grant access to a group in the actions column, without navigating to the group profile.

Choose how many groups to show per page, so you can browse your groups list more efficiently. You can also sort groups by their name with this update. We also updated the look and feel of the page.

More user management improvements

To see your organization’s groups list:

1. Go to Atlassian Administration. Select your organization if you have more than one.
2. Select Directory > Groups.

New roles and other improvements to the original user management experience

We updated the users and groups pages in the original user management experience. You’ll notice a new look and feel generally, including a new profile layout, on top of other usability and performance improvements. It’s also easier to navigate pages with many results and use filters to find specific users or groups.

Roles: You can now assign some app roles that weren’t previously supported in the original experience. These roles are Jira Service Management stakeholder and customer and Compass basic user.

Statuses: Has site access, No site access, and Account disabled statuses are now Active, Suspended, and Deactivated, respectively. You can filter your users list by these statuses, which come with colored indicators for quick recognition. Status is also now more prominent in a user’s profile.

Users: All actions in your users list are now in the more actions menu, including a new shortcut to remove a user from the site. To see or change a user’s roles, go to their profile, which now shows you specific app roles they hold.

Groups: Your groups list now shows you how many members are in a group and how many apps a group has a role for. You can also filter for groups that have a role for a specific app. In a group profile, you can search for a member and also see when they were last seen in the current site.

Soon, you’ll be able to manage your users and groups across multiple directories (sites) in one place. More about user management improvements

To explore these changes:

1. Go to your site administration in Atlassian Administration.
2. Select Users to see the new users list. Select any user to see the new user profile.

As part of the shutdown of the "External Assets Platform", the ability to create, add, or modify "External Assets Platform" custom fields has now been removed

As part of our ongoing efforts to deliver the most streamlined and integrated service management solution, the ‘External Asset Platform’ will be shut down.

Learn more about the shutdown of the 'External Assets Platform'.

This change will take place in two stages: currently, we are removing the ability to create new "External Assets Platform" custom fields, add these fields to projects, or modify the contents of existing "External Assets Platform" custom fields.

Ultimately, all existing "External Assets Platform" custom fields will be removed, along with any data contained in them. If you have not yet begun backing up your data from your "External Assets Platform" custom fields, we recommend you do so immediately using the provided script.

Efficiency improvements in the calendar view

In our ongoing effort to streamline tasks and enhance your experience with the calendar view, we’re rolling out the following improvements:

• Load more issues without pagination — We’ve replaced the page numbers at the bottom of the calendar with a single Load more button. Selecting this will keep currently loaded issues in view while loading the next 50.

• Real-time updates — If you create, update, or delete an issue, other team members viewing the calendar will see those changes in real-time without reloading the page.

• Hide done items via URL — If you switch on the toggle to hide done items, the parameter hideDone=true will be added to the page’s URL. If switched off, the parameter will be removed. You can use these URLs to share exactly what you’re seeing, without unnecessary configuration. This change is only applicable to business projects.

• Manage issue types — While creating issues in the calendar, you’ll notice a new option to Manage types in the issue type dropdown. Selecting this gives you quicker access to the issue type configuration page in project settings. This change is only applicable to software projects (to match existing functionality in business projects).

• Improved sorting — When a day in the calendar contains multiple items, you’ll notice a consistent sorting pattern that better shows the continuity of longer events and prioritises important context like sprints and releases. Sprints will always appear at the top of the day, followed by multi-day events, releases, and single-day events.

Unless otherwise stated, these changes will be available on software projects, business projects, plans, and Jira Service Management.

To try out these improvements, head to the calendar by going to your project, then select Calendar in the sidebar.

In the next screen (Map values to issue types), you can map the values within the selected issue type column to Jira issue types or create custom issue types. More about mapping data to Jira issue types

Rename your managed teams in Atlassian

Back in March 2025, we released Managed Teams for Premium and Enterprise customers. This allowed organization admins to sync an Atlassian team to a group to better control team information and membership, but this change meant the team name would change to match the synced group. Now, organization admins can change a managed team's name from the team profile and while staying synced to the group.

To change a managed team's name:

Prevent people from downloading attached files

Data security policies allow you to use rules to control how users, apps, and people outside the organization interact with content in Confluence and Jira.

We’re extending the data export rule to also block the downloading of files attached to Confluence and Jira. After this rule takes effect, users will no longer find a download button in sections like the attachment list, macros, and file previews.

We opted to extend the data export rule rather than introduce a new one because of the considerable overlap between export and download. We found that organizations that needed to block exports also wanted to prevent attachment downloads.

This change will affect any existing policies that have configured the data export rule to block exports.

The data export rule requires Atlassian Guard Standard.

To check whether your data security policy currently block exports:

1. Go to Atlassian Administration. Select your organization if you have more than one.
2. Select Security > Data security policies.
3. Select a policy, and check whether exporting data is blocked.

Software projects: Improvements to start and due date fields for scheduling work in the calendar

Use the issue view to quickly schedule work in your calendar. An issue's start and due date fields dictate how work is scheduled, so we've made the following improvements:

• For new software projects: Start and due date fields are now enabled by default so you can quickly schedule issues without configuring the fields beforehand.

• For existing software projects (if fields aren’t already enabled): Admins will notice additional information in the issue view to Enable date fields. Depending on your project type, admins will see the option to Configure fields (in company-managed projects) or Enable (in team-managed projects). Selecting Configure fields will take you to the issue layout settings page, where you can add fields to issue types. Selecting Enable will add the fields straight away.

To get started with this change, open an issue in your software project’s calendar or timeline view.

The end is near for Epic Link and Parent Link fields

For a little over a year, we've been working to combine the Epic Link and Parent link fields in company-managed projects into the new universal Parent field (which you can read about here). To prevent data loss, the values from both fields have been automatically ported into the Parent field.

With this change, the values in the Epic Link and Parent link fields are no longer visible on the Issue view. If your issue view still includes these fields, simply swap it for the Parent field instead.

More historical data available in velocity charts

Velocity charts in Jira now show data from more sprints, giving you a clearer picture of your team's productivity over a longer period of time. We've also added an average line so you can easily track your team's average output at a glance. Read more about the velocity chart

To view the velocity chart:

1. Start in your Jira software project.
2. Select Reports.
3. Select Velocity report if you're in a team-managed project, or Velocity chart in a company-managed project.

See all your Asset attributes now in Forms

Take the guesswork out of selecting the right Asset when filling out a form and find all attributes now visible on Asset form fields. Previously when filling out a form, customers would only be able to see the object name which made it hard to know what option to select. Now you’ll see the same attributes listed alongside each object - just like you do on request types.

Add and remove fields from field configurations; new tools to optimize fields in your projects

We’re introducing a number of improvements to the way field configurations and field configuration schemes work. In addition, we’re also adding some new tools which make it easier to remove unused work types and fields from schemes. Here are more details about what’s changing.

You can now remove and add fields to field configurations

Removing a field from a field configuration is similar to hiding it. However, when a field is removed, its configuration isn’t preserved. It will need to be entered again if the field is re-associated.

Adding a field to a field configuration is similar to unhiding it. Once unhidden, it becomes available to the projects associated with the field configuration scheme.

You can manage field associations in the Jira admin panel or using the new field association REST API.

We’re releasing tools which allow you to optimize fields

These tools will automatically identify and remove unused work types from a scheme, as well as unused fields from a field configuration scheme and field configuration. For more details about these tools, see this Atlassian community announcement or type: entry-hyperlink id: 5m0df9oFEgswh305bKEQ1v

Unlocking another level of help center customization

The Jira Service Management help center is getting a sleek and modern design update across all its pages, offering new opportunities for customization. Admins will be able customize the help center navigation and manage background and text color for sections in their home page.

To customize the navigation:
1. Go to the help center of your choice.
2. Select Customize, then Customize look and feel from the navigation.
3. Scroll down the side panel to find the navigation color settings.

To manage section settings:
1. Go to the help center of your choice.
2. Select Customize, then Edit page layout from the navigation.
3. Select the section you want to customize and manage its settings on the side panel.

Validate additional fields input in Atlassian Automation

We're introducing a new feature that allows you to validate additional fields input in Atlassian Automation rules, including JSON syntax. This feature will help you to find possible warnings and errors that may impact your rule, so you can fix them before it runs. It'll be available across components that allow you to provide additional fields input, including the Create issue, Clone issue, Edit issue, Transition issue and Create incident actions.

You can also validate input containing smart values that are wrapped in double curly brackets, such as assignee.displayName. This feature has limited capacity to validate input that contains smart values without these brackets. We currently don't support validating input that only contains smart values (which may occur if you try to enter your JSON through smart values alone) or smart values sections.

To get started with this feature:

1. Open the Automation rulebuilder.
2. Select a trigger for your rule, plus an action that supports additional fields, like Create issue.
3. Enter your desired input into the Additional fields section.
4. Open the dropdown menu next to Turn on rule.
5. Select Validate rule.
6. Any errors or warnings found in your rule, including the additional fields, will be displayed.
7. Fix any errors or warnings before turning on your rule. Warnings don't need to be fixed before the rule is enabled, but we recommend resolving them as soon as possible, to ensure your rule will run as planned.
8. Select Turn on rule.
9. Your rule is now ready to use.

Public access is now available for Jira forms

We are adding a Public access option to the forms available in Jira business and software projects. Any user, including those without a Jira license, will be able to submit a response through a public form.

Only people with project admin permissions will be able to create a public form, and these will be available for all licence editions and both team-managed and company-managed projects. In addition, Jira admins will be able to disable public forms on their site. There is one setting for team-managed projects and one for company-managed.

An unlicensed user can submit a response through a public form, but they will need a Jira license to view and collaborate on the work item created from their submission.

We've launched a new prioritization project template

When you set up a new project in Jira, you can use project templates. There are many to choose from, including specific templates from different apps like Jira Product Discovery and Jira Service Management.

We've just added a new template for projects that are all about gathering ideas and prioritizing them. With this new prioritization template you can list ideas and add data to them. You can then use this data with common frameworks (such as RICE) to prioritize. The project has multiple views, like an effort and impact matrix, list, or roadmap view, so you can see and share your priorities in a way that suits you.

Anyone who has Jira Product Discovery and permission to create projects can use this template.

See the Premium features in-product before starting a trial

We're introducing a new and faster way to understand and upgrade to Jira Service Management Premium trial. Whenever you choose to upgrade to Premium or start a trial, you will see a modal which lists all new features available to you.

Now you can create roadmaps from your Jira timeline

Sometimes, you need a custom roadmap view to share your work plans with certain stakeholders. You may not need to include specific dates, for example. Now, you can access Jira Product Discovery from the Jira timeline view. Look for a button that says "Create roadmap" when you select the "Share", " Today," or "Timeline mode" buttons.

You can use Jira Product Discovery to create custom roadmaps, then share them with anyone, even if they don't use Jira.

Only people who are admins and don't already have Jira Product Discovery will see this change. You dismiss it anytime.

Plans in Jira - More Program boards per plan!

In Plans, you can now have up to ten active Program boards at one time in a plan. A Program board is considered 'active' if it has an end date in the future.

Previously, you could only have two.

Project delete improvements

We’re making the project deletion process easier to follow. When a project is moved to trash and marked for deletion, you have a 60 day window in which to restore a project. After that, the project will be permanently deleted.

With this change, if you don’t require the 60 day grace period, you can select 'Delete now' from the project trash list menu. A ‘Deleting now’ message confirms the project deletion process is underway.

Jira: Reparent work items in list view

You can now select (drag and drop) work items to reparent them. This makes it easier to restructure work without losing your place.

To reparent a work item:

1. Make sure you're in the list view within your project
2. Select (using drag and drop) the work item you want to reparent.
3. Move it to the new location (drop it). This will update the hierarchy.

We're making it easier to compare plans during a trial

When you're in a trial, you can now click on the trial button in the top navigation and see the plan options available to you. This way, it'll be easier for you to understand the plan that is best for your team based on the features that plan includes. You can also easily upgrade and pay from the plans page.

Edit your workflows quicker and easier with the power of AI!

In Jira sites that have Rovo enabled, the New Workflow Editor now includes an AI Workflow builder agent that can help add, change, or delete statuses and transitions in a workflow. It can also answer questions about the key differences between the old and new workflow editor.

While the agent is still learning, you can prompt it to add or remove the following rules from an existing workflow:

• Restrict who can move a work item
• Update a work item field
• Validate a work item field value
• Change an assignee
• Check a work item field value

Then select Update workflow on the workflow diagram to save the changes it suggests.

Avoid accidentally deleting work items

We’re changing the way Premium and Enterprise users delete work items to help avoid accidental deletions. When you attempt to delete a work item, you can now choose to archive it, or confirm that you want to delete it.

Add media from web links

You can now add media, including images and videos, directly from web links into your Jira work items. This is an update to the existing image upload process. Once you select the Add image, video, or file from the toolbar or / command, you can now upload files or media from links.

Watch multiple work items from the backlog and All work tab

Stay updated about the work that matters to you by watching multiple work items in either the backlog or the All work tab. When you watch a work item, you’ll be notified when important changes occur.

To watch or stop watching multiple work items from the backlog or All work tab:

1. Select multiple work items from the backlog or All work tab. You can either:
   1. use the issue checkboxes
   2. hold Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac) while selecting work items
   3. hold the Shift key to select a group of adjacent work items
2. Select Watch options, then select either:
   1. Start watching to receive updates
   2. Stop watching to stop updates

Create and manage email templates for stakeholder notifications

Jira Service Management Premium and Enterprise users can now save time and customize stakeholder notifications on the go with email templates.

Email templates provide an easy and efficient way to customize stakeholder notifications. They eliminate the need to draft new emails from scratch, especially when teams are responding to incidents, allowing for quick customization and notification. Templates ensure consistent messaging by structuring emails to include all necessary information. You can also use predefined placeholders and dynamic fields, which help minimize the likelihood of omitting critical details.

To create an email template:

1. Go to Settings, then Products.
2. Under Jira Service Management, select Incident management.
3. Go to Email templates.
4. Select Create template.
5. Type in name, sender and reply address, upload header image, if any, and type in the email body.
6. Select Save template.

Find out more about creating and managing email templates.

A cleaner All activity tab in work items

We’ve updated the All tab in the activity section of each work item. This improves readability and reduces clutter.

It's easier to scan and understand updates in a work item’s history, at a glance:

• Entry grouping: Similar updates are now grouped together to reduce clutter.

• Modern UI: Improved alignment, formatting, and date presentation for a cleaner look.

• Progressive disclosure: Long descriptions and details are now collapsible, reducing excessive scrolling.

This more structured and intuitive layout helps you quickly access relevant updates without the overwhelming detail.

Jira Plans - Turn releases off and on in your plan

Releases are a powerful tool for planning work for software teams, but for Marketing or Design teams? Not so much. For planners who don't need to see releases information from their plans, you can now hide it for a simpler planning experience.

When you turn releases off in your plan, you’ll no longer see:

• the Releases tab
• the Releases field from the timeline as well as any filters that use it
• release markers on the timeline, calendar, and program board
• the option to group work items by assigned releases in the View settings menu
• any rolled up dates based on releases

For a full breakdown of this new feature, read more in our documentation.

Jira: Create work items in a group in list view

You can now create work items directly within a group in the list view. This feature automatically adds the group field (such as assignee) to the new work item, streamlining your workflow.

To create a work item in a group:

1. Go to the list view in your project.
2. Select the group where you want to create the work item.
3. Select Create to add a new work item, which will automatically include the group field.

Jira: Improvements to the child work item panel

The child work item panel is faster to load and more responsive.
You now get smoother scrolling, better performance and real-time, instant updates (without needing to refresh).

Jira: Introducing an improvement to attachment previews

Introducing Grid view for attachments.

This change improves the organization and visualization of attachments.

Attachments appear in a grid view rather than the strip view and list view. You'll still be able to switch to another view, and save that as the default if you prefer.

Grid view helps you to more easily navigate through your content.

Customize project backgrounds with images and color gradients

Jira admins can add different colors and images to project backgrounds.

To change the background, you must be a Jira project admin using the new navigation.

To set a theme in a company-managed project:

1. Next to your project's name in the sidebar, select More actions (•••).
2. Select Set project background.
3. Select a theme.

To set a theme in a team-managed project, you can follow the above steps, or:

1. Select More actions (•••) next to the project name.
2. Select Set project background.
3. Select a theme.

Limits to work type schemes and field configurations are coming in 2026

We recently announced that Jira will limit the number of work types that can be used in a project to improve performance and reliability of large sites starting in February 2026. Work type schemes will be capped at 150 work types per scheme, and field configurations will be capped at 700 fields.

In our recent post in the Atlassian Community, we cover what tools are available to help you clean up your sites in preparation for this change.

Subscribe to your change calendar and explore the new filters

We’ve made major improvements to the change calendar to help you stay on top of change events and avoid conflicts across your services, Assets objects, and teams.

Subscribe to change calendar from your external calendar
You can now generate an iCal link and subscribe to your change calendar from apps like Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook. This lets you stay updated on change activity without logging into Jira Service Management.

New JQL filtering in change calendar
Use JQL to filter work items shown in the calendar view. Filter by affected services, affected Assets objects, change types, or any custom fields, so you can focus on exactly what matters.

Show or hide change events by type
Choose which types of change events to display on the calendar, including freeze windows, maintenance windows, and standard work items.

Link your change calendar with affected services and Assets objects
You can now select affected services and Assets object fields when creating a new change window. This helps surface change conflicts more clearly and ensures better risk insights for service-dependent work. Read how to connect Assets schemas with changes

Generate a subscription link directly from your change calendar following these steps:

• Navigate to Operations > Change calendar in your service project.
• Select Subscribe to change calendar icon in your toolbar.
• Choose the event types and calendar format, then generate your calendar link.
• Paste the link into your external calendar app (Google, Apple, or Outlook). Read more about subscribing to change calendar

Once subscribed, you’ll automatically see any future updates to change events in your external calendar.

You don’t need to take any action to start using the new filters or event fields. They’re already available in the change calendar and the change event creation form.

Jira Plans: Navigation and accessibility improvements on the Dependencies view

We've added extra keyboard navigation and accessibility features on the Dependencies view in Plans. With this release, you can now:

• use your mouse or trackpad's scroll function to either pan across the view or zoom in or out. You can switch between these using the Zoom on scroll checkbox in the view menu where you usually select the zoom level.
• quickly view linked work items using Highlight linked work item in a card's ••• menu
• go to different sections of your dependencies view using the Skip to menu

All of these improvements are accessible via keyboard actions.

Add people to a project when you invite them to Jira

You can now add people to a specific project when you invite them to join Jira. This means you can land your teammates in the right place as soon as they join Jira, and they can get started without needing to track down a specific project first. 

To add someone to a project:

1. Select Teams from the sidebar to open the Teams app.
2. Select People.
3. Select Add people. 

You can also hover over Teams in the sidebar, select Add , then select Invite people.

New 'offer options' standard flow in the virtual service agent

We heard your feedback about the escalate standard flow creating too many work items, so we've introduced a new standard flow, called offer options. Depending on the situation and the channel, offer options is sometimes used instead of escalate.

Offer options is configurable, and lets you choose 1–3 options to present to your customers. These appear as buttons:

• Raise a request starts the escalate standard flow, which lets the customer know a request has been raised and creates a work item.
• See search results takes the customer to the relevant portal, and shows search results based on their first message in the conversation.
• Ask another way tells your customer to try rephrasing their question.

Read more about the 'offer options' standard flow, or find out how to configure 'offer options' in the virtual service agent.

Refined drag and drop experience in the work item

We’re refining the drag and drop experience in the work item to make it more consistent and intuitive across different views in Jira.

We’re running an experiment with two variations.

Link your team to Jira projects and Confluences spaces

You can now associate teams with projects in Jira and spaces in Confluence, making it easier to find the teams who work in any given project or space. You'll see linked teams at the top of the Jira project page and a Confluence space's main page, as well as connected projects and spaces on a team's profile.

You can link your team to a Jira project or Confluence space from the "Team links" section at the top of the team profile. You can also link a team from the Jira project or Confluence space themselves:

1. Go to the Jira project or Confluence space's main page that you want to link.
2. At the top of the page, select the team icon next to the project or space's name.
3. Enter your team name(s) in the search field and select the team(s) you want to link.

New plans background save process

No more waiting around for plan changes to save.

Now, you can keep working in your plan while changes save in the background. If there's any errors or incomplete fields, we'll prompt you to reopen the unsaved changes modal and resolve the problem.

Use AI-powered support chat on Atlassian support

We are excited to announce a new chat feature on our contact form. This feature uses Atlassian Intelligence on the contact form to streamline the inquiry process and provide real-time assistance.

For more details, visit our website Atlassian Support

To use AI chat in the contact form:

1. Go to support.atlassian.com/contact
2. Fill out the form, and let us know what you need and your URL.
3. Some users might see an AI chat feature (Tell us about your problem) that will help you out by suggesting solutions
4. You can opt out and continue with the traditional form submission if you prefer.

Create and reorder work items faster in the All work tab

We’re rolling out sibling create and drag and drop re-ranking in the All work tab, so it’s easier to structure and prioritise related work items without switching views.

You can now quickly create a new work item at the same level (a sibling), and re-rank work items by using drag and drop (select and move) when sorted by rank.

Now available for both team-managed and company-managed projects in the All work tab.

Key benefits:

• Plan faster by creating structured work items in context.
• Prioritise quickly with drag and drop (select and move) ranking.
• Avoid unnecessary actions and switching views.

1. Go to the All work tab.
2. Check that your view is sorted by Rank.
   1. Select a work item, then drag and drop (move) to reorder based on priority.
   2. Select a work item, then + Sibling to create a related work item.

Jira: Collapsible sections in work items

You can now collapse sections in a work item view to reduce scrolling and highlight key information.

To use collapsible sections:

1. Open a work item in Jira.
2. Find the section you want to collapse, such as Description or Activity.
3. Select the chevron or section title to collapse or expand it.

Due date notifications now available

As the assignee of work items that are overdue or due today, you'll now receive daily notifications within Jira and via email. Each notification links to a pre-filtered page showing your overdue and due work items. Manage your due date notification preferences by:

1. Select Settings.

2. Select Personal Jira Settings, then Digests.

For more details, join the conversation and provide feedback on our Atlassian Community.

Create custom roadmaps directly from your project menu

Jira Product Discovery is an Atlassian app that allows people to create custom roadmaps. You can add or edit information such as dates, assignees, and more.

You may now see a recommendation in your project menu about Jira Product Discovery roadmaps. You can select this recommendation, add Jira Product Discovery, and create a new project with a custom roadmap template.

Only admins will see this recommendation. It is being rolled out to people on Free Jira plans first, then it will roll out to Standard and Premium Jira plans in the next few months. You can dismiss it at any time or go to admin.atlassian.com to manage your recommendation settings.

Jira: Consolidated actions in the work item view

In Jira’s work item view, we’ve moved the Vote and Feedback actions into the More actions (•••) menu. Previously, these actions were available outside of the menu. This change simplifies the work item view and makes it easier to focus on key actions.

To see this change, navigate to your Jira project. Select a work item to open the work item view, then select More actions (•••).

Plans - Plan Settings refresh

We've redesigned the Plans settings pages to be easier to use and prettier to look at. There's no new functionality with this release.

This improvement focuses on rewriting settings for clarity and framing your plan configuration in a more useful way. The notes below outline what's changed.

Team-managed projects: Currency and percentage formatting now available on number fields

We’ve added new formatting options for number fields in team-managed projects. You can now format any number field to show a number, currency symbol, or percentage symbol. This feature enhances the presentation of numerical data and provides an easy way to track information like budgets, estimates, costs, and more.

You must be an admin to edit fields.

To try out a number field with currency or percentage formatting:

1. Start in a team-managed project.
2. Next to your project's name in the sidebar, select More actions (•••), then Project settings.
3. Select Fields.
4. Find the number field you’d like to configure, select Actions (•••), then Edit field.
5. In the Format section, select either Currency or Percentage.
6. If you selected Currency as the format, you can then select a Currency type (for example, USD or AUD).

Improve visual and hierarchy of the Quick actions menu in the work item

We’ve improved the Quick actions menu in the work item with a cohesive visual look, and better action hierarchy and grouping, making it easier for you to find and use the tools you need.

We’ve also added Goals and recommendations to the menu.

Open a work item and select the Add button under the summary.

Add a assignee when creating work items on a timeline

Using the timeline in software projects, you can now add a assignee straightaway when creating a work item.

To create a work item with an assignee:

1. Select + Create Epic, or hover over a parent work item and select Create a child work item ( ).
2. Give the work item a name.
3. Choose a work type from the dropdown (if your project has more than one work type).
4. Select the assignee icon and choose an assignee.
5. Press enter or return on your keyboard to create your work item.

Fix broken links after migrating from one cloud site to another

When migrating Jira Cloud or Confluence Cloud to a different site, some links between individual entities may break due to changes in the URL. This typically includes:

• Links to Jira work items that users have pasted as URLs in comments and descriptions.

• Links from other instances to the migrated site, such as links from Confluence pages to your Jira work items.

Previously, the only way to resolve broken links was to contact Atlassian Support, which wasn’t ideal for those who prefer to do it in their own time.

To address this, we’ve included cloud-to-cloud migrations in Link fixing available at admin.atlassian.com. You can now update all broken links in bulk, including local links within your migrated instance and remote links from other instances.

Learn more about fixing links after migration

To get started with link fixing:

1. Go to admin.atlassian.com, and select your organization.
2. Go to Settings > Link fixing.
3. Review the list of instances that were migrated and start updating links on each of them.

We're making it easier to find Confluence in Jira

If you've been given access to Confluence, you'll see a spotlight highlighting how you can navigate to the in-Jira version of Confluence, called Project Pages. This way, you'll be able to find and create documentation right in Jira.

Jira: Create work items inline in the Backlog with AI (beta)

You can now use AI to generate multiple work items directly inline in the Backlog, based on content from a Confluence link.

AI analyzes the linked Confluence page and suggests relevant work items for you to review and create—all without switching context. It supports cross-site linking and respects your existing access permissions to Confluence content.

AI-powered work creation helps you save time, reduce manual effort, and streamline backlog management by quickly turning documentation into actionable tasks.

To get started:

1. Go to the Backlog in your Jira project.
2. In the inline create field, select Generate from Confluence.
3. Search or paste a Confluence link, then select Suggest work items.
4. Review the suggestions. Then, accept them individually or all at once to create work items.

Improvements to the Fields pages in Jira Admin - Part 1

We're rolling out the first phase of our improved fields management experience in Jira that we announced in the Atlassian Community at the start of June. Our post outlines the full list of changes as well as how this fits into our larger plan. The Atlassian Community is also where we'll share updates, announce future changes in full detail, and engage with the community to make sure we're delivering an experience that meets your needs.

This first release includes changes that make field management simpler and more efficient for Jira admins, such as a redesigned Fields page (formerly Custom fields) that now shows fields created by Jira or plugins (i.e., System fields). You can also create and add new fields to configuration schemes without leaving the page, and filter and sort fields based on Field category type.

Enhanced automation filtering and search experience

We’re making it easier and faster for you to find what you need in Atlassian Automation.

Streamlined template filtering: You can now effortlessly filter templates by app and trigger, allowing you to quickly narrow down your options and find the perfect template for your needs.

Faster and more reliable search: Our enhanced search capability ensures that results are displayed more quickly and reliably, so you can spend less time searching and more time automating.

To find new template filters:

1. Open Automation from your Atlassian app.
2. Select the Templates tab.

Attachments now supported for the 'Send customized email’ action in Automation

We’ve introduced the ability to add attachments to emails sent as part of your automation rules.

Once a rule has been saved or enabled, you’ll be able to upload files as part of the email content. When the rule executes, any uploaded files will be included as attachments to the emails that are sent.

This capability will be available when using the Send customized email action as part of your Jira automation rules, and will become available for use in other Atlassian apps in the future.

Read more about the Send customized email[ action in Automation.|https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-automation-actions/#Send-customized-email]

This highly-requested update includes:

• Attachment support: You can now add up to 10 attachments (in most file formats with a total size of 4MB) to your automated emails.
• Secure storage: All attachments are stored securely in Atlassian’s media platform, ensuring reliability and compliance.
• Easy preview: Once uploaded, you can open a preview of an attachment by selecting a card in the Attachments field.

To add attachments to your automated emails:

• Add the Send customized email action to an automation rule, then fill in the email details in the Settings tab.
• Select the Content tab, then from the Attachments field browse or drop the files you want to attach to the email.
• Select Update.

Note that the rule must be saved or enabled before you can add attachments to the email action.

More functionality in the new workflow editor, plus it's becoming the default experience

This release has two small improvements which means the New workflow editor can do everything that the old workflow editor could do. These changes are:

• You can set a name for your transitions when you create them, and rename existing transitions.
• When you change the name of a status that's included in a transition, the transition automatically updates to match the new name.

And with those changes, the New Workflow Editor is a worthy successor to the old one, and we're excited for it to become the new face of workflow changes in Jira.

That said, Jira will use the new workflow editor by default when editing global workflows unless you've set the old editor as your default in settings. If you set the old as your default workflow editing experience, then nothing will change for you, but we are planning to deprecate it soon.

For now, enjoy the vastly superior new workflow editor. Let us know what you think by sending us feedback through Jira.

Avoid accidentally deleting work items

We’re changing the way users delete work items to help avoid accidental deletions. When you attempt to delete a work item, you must complete a two-step process to confirm the action.

To delete a work item:

1. Select the work item you want to delete.
2. Select More actions (•••), then select Delete.
3. To go ahead with deleting the work item, type “delete” in the text box.
4. Select Delete (this option will only be available after you type “delete” in the text box).

We're deleting unused field associations

Starting today (June 16, 2025), we’re beginning the process of removing unused field associations from your field configuration schemes. We expect this process to take several weeks from today. Once finished, this will improve the performance and stability of your Jira instances.

If this causes any issues in your projects, we have documented the steps for adding fields back in this Atlassian community announcement. The page also covers how we determine which associations to delete. If you have any questions about this scheduled deletion, you can ask them in the comments section of the linked announcement.

Selecting dates in Jira is now easier

We’ve made improvements to the way you select dates and times in Jira, making it more efficient to schedule work and keep your team on track.

Key changes:

• Smart defaults: The placeholder date has been updated to the current day’s date and time.
• Keyboard navigation support: You can now press "tab" or "enter" to confirm a selection.

Add web links to the top of your team profile

We've consolidated all your team's important links to the "Team links" section at the top of the profile. Now, you'll see connected Jira, Confluence, and Loom spaces alongside any links to external tools or important pages.

To add links to your profile:

1. Go to the team's profile page.
2. Find the "Team links" section at the top, and select the + button.
3. Paste in the link and change the display text if you want it to say something different.

Allow Slack apps to trigger on-call alias responses

You can now allow Slack apps, workflows, or webhooks to trigger Jira Service Management ChatOps responses using schedule aliases.

Previously, ChatOps only responded to alias messages sent by users. Now, when an app posts a message with an alias, you can allowlist it directly from the message shortcut menu. Once allowlisted, ChatOps will respond just like it does for user messages, making it easier to integrate bots, monitoring tools, and workflows into your on-call process.

To allow an app:
Hover over the alias message sent by the app, select the More actions menu > More message shortcuts > Allowlist app

Easily share and maintain your team-managed project

We’ve improved how project admins share team-managed projects in Jira.

Admins on Standard and Premium Plans can now see the project’s current access level at a glance from the project view. Plus, you can now Copy a link directly from the project view, making it even easier for you to share your current project view with your team.

We are deprecating the “Create feature flag in LaunchDarkly” action in Atlassian Automation on June 30, 2025. As a result, the rules linked to LaunchDarkly and this action will cease to function as intended after this date. To prevent rule failures, all rules employing this action must be reconfigured on or before June 30, 2025. Please note that the reconfiguration can only be completed successfully if you have an account with LaunchDarkly.

More about the deprecation of the LaunchDarkly Action in Atlassian Automation.

To determine if your rules are affected by this update and reconfigure them:

1. Select Automation from project/global settings where you’re an administrator.
2. Select the Action filter, then select the Create feature flag in LaunchDarkly from the list of options
3. Open the rule and select the Action component of the rule
4. Switch to Send web request action to create a feature flag through LaunchDarkly's public API

The Edit page action is now available in Jira Automation

We've made the Edit page action available for use in Jira Automation. Previously, you could only use it in Confluence Automation.

The Edit Page action enables your rule to edit and add content to an existing page in Confluence. It can now be used alongside other actions, including those from Rovo AI agents.

Control playbooks visibility using JQL

You can now use JQL in the playbook details section to control playbook visibility. This helps agents see only the most relevant playbooks, improving process efficiency and reducing noise. Read more about playbook details.

Create work items from a Loom with AI

You can now use AI to generate multiple work items directly inline in the Backlog, based on content from a Loom video.

AI analyzes the linked Loom video and suggests relevant work items for you to review and create, without switching context. It supports cross-site linking and respects the permissions you apply to the video.

AI-powered work creation helps you reduce manual effort and fast-track backlog management.

To get started:

1. Go to the Backlog in your Jira project.
2. In the inline create field, select Generate from Loom.
3. Search or paste a Confluence link, then select Suggest work items.
4. Review the suggestions. Then, accept them individually or all at once to create work items in the backlog.

Suggestions of people to tag in comments

When adding a comment in a work item, you will now see suggested people to tag, making it easier to involve the right people in discussions.

Format numbers as currency or percentages in team-managed business projects

We’ve added the currency symbol ($) and percentage symbol (%) to the number custom field to help you track budgets and spending.

Once set up, cards on your business board, fields on your forms, and work items directly, or in the All work tab, will show numbers in the format set by your project admin.

To create a custom number field:

1. If you’re not already there, navigate to your team-managed business project.
   • For cards on your board: Select Project settings, then Work types. Select Add work type from the sidebar, or edit an existing work type.

   • Navigate to the Forms tab.
2. Choose Create a field, then choose Number as the field type.
3. In the Format dropdown, select Percentage or Currency.

We’re removing the default text renderer

To improve consistency, reduce bugs, and provide a better editing experience across all of Jira Cloud, we’ll be removing the default text renderer.

This will:

• Ensure consistent formatting and rendering behavior.
• Eliminate confusion and data loss due to mismatched renderers.
• Provide a unified editing experience across all Atlassian Cloud products.

What’s changing:

• Jira now only supports the wiki text renderer (which allows a user to enter wiki markup to produce HTML content).
• You’ll no longer see the option to configure a default text renderer.
• Any fields currently using the default text renderer will be migrated automatically.

Easier ways to view and edit your sprint commitments

This change makes it easier for you to spot and adjust sprint commitments in your backlog.

Now you can:

• Quickly understand if the sprint is over or undercommitted, with new icons and recommended improvements. The up arrow shows if the sprint is overcommitted, the down arrow shows it's undercommitted, and the tick indicates it’s just right!
• Automatically view the related sprint in the insights panel by selecting the sprint commitment icon in the backlog.
• Turn the sprint commitment icons on or off, as you like, via your View settings (company-managed projects only).

Jira forms with public access now support attachments

Attachments are now supported in forms set to public access. This means that when someone submits a response to a public form, they can also upload an attachment, such as an image or video, to add more context. The attachment can then be viewed and accessed via the work item created from the form submission. There is a limit of 100MB per attachment.

Add a comment summary to improve your work item description

To help make sure key decisions or details aren't lost over time, you can use AI to summarize the comments in a work item.

Select Add to description to combine the summarized comments with an improved version of the existing description, or select Copy to add it manually.

We’re merging List and All work into one powerful view for all teams

Jira now combines the List and All work views into one powerful, unified view for managing work items. It's simply called List. Learn more about the change in our Community announcement.

To use the new merged experience:

1. Open your project in Jira.
2. Go to the main navigation and select the “List” tab (previously “List” or “All work”).
3. Explore the combined features, including hierarchy, grouping, inline editing, and more — all in one place.

Jira: Conditional formatting now available in All Work

You can now apply and edit conditional formatting rules directly within All Work, not just in the list view. This allows for consistent formatting and easier management of your work items.

To apply conditional formatting:

1. Go to the All Work tab in your project.
2. Select (…) More actions then Format rules.
3. Edit or apply rules as needed.

Your organization-wide default data classification level now applies to Jira

Data classification is the process of categorizing the sensitivity of information.

Previously, a default data classification level could only be applied to Confluence apps. We've now expanded this to include Jira, allowing you to set a default data classification level across both apps. This level will automatically apply to all unclassified content within these apps.

If you've already set a default data classification for your organization, it will now apply to all unclassified content in Jira, in addition to Confluence. If no organization-wide default classification level is set, content in Confluence and Jira will remain unclassified by default. However, you still have the option to set a default data classification level for specific spaces and projects.

Data classification is a feature that requires Atlassian Guard Premium.

To apply a default data classification level across Confluence and Jira in your organization:

1. Go to Atlassian Administration. Select your organization if you have more than one.
2. Select Security > Data classification.
3. Select More actions (•••) > Manage settings.
4. Choose the classification level.
5. Select Update.

Hide empty sprints in the backlog

You can now hide empty sprints from the backlog in software projects that use scrum. This helps you focus on sprints with active work and keeps your backlog organized.

2. Select View settings.
3. Select the toggle next to Empty sprints to hide sprints that don’t contain any work items.
4. Select the toggle again to show empty sprints.

Sync Slack threads with Jira comments

Keep your Jira work items up to date by syncing conversations from Slack directly to Jira comments, or comments to threads.

When you paste a work item link in a Slack channel, select Sync thread to connect the discussion. Replies in Slack will appear as Jira comments, and Jira replies will sync back to Slack, so your team never loses context.

To get started, paste a link to a Jira work item in a public or private Slack channel and follow the steps.

A more stable way to display media in Jira’s work item view editor

Media in Jira’s work item view editor will now use pixel widths instead of relative sizing. This change helps prevent media from resizing unexpectedly while content loads, providing a more consistent experience.

Resize using the new handle: Resize your images using the drag handle located on the sides of the images. Your image will proportionally grow or shrink based on how much you drag it in and out.

Resize using the new pixel entry: Select the image, enter the size in pixels you want, and hit ‘return’. Simple!

What happens to my previously inserted images? Pages containing legacy images, which are not pixel entry or custom sizes, can be easily transformed to the new image resizing format by simply selecting the 'Convert to pixels' option while choosing the image. The images that require conversion will be indicated by a yellow dot located in their top-right corner.

Redesigned team profiles are now available

Team profiles in the Teams app have been redesigned and are now available for select organizations. This update brings a fresh look that feel more aligned with similar experiences in other Atlassian apps. Some highlights include a modular design with tabs for easier navigation, a new right-hand panel for better visibility, and dedicated tabs to link the team's Atlassian projects and goals directly from the profile.

If your organization is included in this release, you can go to any team's page to see the new, redesigned profile.

A more detailed way to set journey dependencies using status

You can now set dependencies using individual statuses on a journey, not just status categories. This gives you more control and lets you map out your process in greater detail, specifying exactly when certain work should be created.

To set up dependencies in your journey:

1. Select Add anywhere on the journey type between two work items where you’d like to add a dependency and select Add dependency.
2. Select the work item you’d like the dependency to apply to.
3. Select the specific status or status category you’d like the dependency to apply to.
4. Select Add dependency.

A faster way to get started with playbooks using ready-made templates

You can now jumpstart your playbooks experience with a library of out-of-the-box templates. These templates are designed to help teams quickly discover use-cases, import playbooks, and customize processes covering common scenarios across IT Operations, IT Services, Human Resources, and more – no need to start from scratch.

To use the new playbook templates:

1. Go to Project settings.
2. Select Playbooks.
3. Select Templates. Choose a template to preview its details and steps.

To use Atlassian Intelligence to draft a reply:

1. Select any issue from Queues.
2. Select Add internal note or Reply to customer.
3. Select Atlassian Intelligence from the toolbar, and then select Draft Reply. Alternatively, use /draftreply.

You can copy, insert, or edit the reply as needed.

Enhancements to work item hierarchies in the issue navigator

We've introduced the ability to view work item hierarchies, providing a clear and concise overview of related tasks at a glance. Additionally, you can now easily add work items directly from the list.

This update improves clarity, structure, and scalability. It allows you and your teams to efficiently manage tasks in both team-managed and company-managed projects.

Prefer a flat list view?

If you prefer working with a flat list of work items, you can easily customise your view.

Go to View settings and select Hierarchy

Announcing a new way to streamline processes across your projects with Journeys

Build end-to-end journeys that automatically connect work items across both service and software projects in Jira Service Management. Here you’ll be able to get a view of all the work that needs to happen as part of a specific process, and the relationships between the specific teams doing the work.

You’ll also able to control when, where and how these work items get created so you can increase efficiencies by streamlining all the various processes that may cross multiple departments. This could include processes such as employee onboarding or off-boarding that require action from different teams who may not be in the same project.

All you have to do is set a trigger so a journey type knows when to start creating and linking work items across projects. You can also pause the progress of a journey by stopping subsequent work items from being created until a dependency on another work item’s status is met. Plus map Automation rules to specific work items in a journey that may require additional functionality or flexibility.

Read more about journeys

To start using Journeys:

1. From your company-managed service project, select Project settings, then Features.
2. Under Features lab, turn the toggle on next to Journeys to enable this feature.

If you participated in our early access program, this feature will be enabled for you by default.

Automation suggestions in issue and alert views

In the issue and alert views, you’ll now receive automation rule suggestions to help improve your team’s efficiency and simplify the alert management workflow. These suggestions are generated based on keywords found in the issue summary and description, and offer relevant automation options that can be beneficial for your team. By implementing these rules, you can reduce manual tasks, save time, and ensure more consistent management of issues and alerts.

If you are an admin:

• To set up and enable the rule for your team, click Build this rule.
• To modify an existing rule, click Edit in rule builder.
• By default, automation suggestions are visible to everyone. To control who sees these suggestions, go to Project Settings > Features > Automation Suggestions. Turning it off will prevent your team from receiving suggestions.

If you’re an agent:

• You can request your admin to build and enable the suggested rules for you.
• To view details about a suggestion, click View rule.
• To quickly send a request to your admin, click Copy message to copy the message and send it to your admin.

Edit your help center's home page layout and add rich content to it

Address gaps in your knowledge base with suggested topics

You can now quickly identify the topics that require knowledge base articles in your project with suggested topics powered by Atlassian Intelligence. This feature gives your team a headstart on knowledge articles you should be creating to deflect requests and increase self service among your customers.

To generate a list of topics, we analyze the details of recent requests in your project and check for related articles. The list of suggestions will be refreshed every 7 days, ensuring that your team remains informed of the most relevant topics.

Read more about suggested topics in knowledge base.

Rename your managed teams in Atlassian

Back in March 2025, we released Managed Teams for Premium and Enterprise customers. This allowed organization admins to sync an Atlassian team to a group to better control team information and membership, but this change meant the team name would change to match the synced group. Now, organization admins can change a managed team's name from the team profile and while staying synced to the group.

To change a managed team's name:

1. Go to the managed team's profile.
2. Select the team's name, or select the Team settings button.
3. Enter the new name you want to use in the Team name field.

Prevent people from downloading attached files

Data security policies allow you to use rules to control how users, apps, and people outside the organization interact with content in Confluence and Jira.

We’re extending the data export rule to also block the downloading of files attached to Confluence and Jira. After this rule takes effect, users will no longer find a download button in sections like the attachment list, macros, and file previews.

We opted to extend the data export rule rather than introduce a new one because of the considerable overlap between export and download. We found that organizations that needed to block exports also wanted to prevent attachment downloads.

This change will affect any existing policies that have configured the data export rule to block exports.

The data export rule requires Atlassian Guard Standard.

To check whether your data security policy currently block exports:

1. Go to Atlassian Administration. Select your organization if you have more than one.
2. Select Security > Data security policies.
3. Select a policy, and check whether exporting data is blocked.

Get more work done in less time with suggestions in Jira Service Management

We’re introducing suggestions on the issue view to help your teams gather context and start working on issues quickly based on a list of actions. Powered by Atlassian Intelligence, this feature is currently available for service requests and incidents only.

1. From your service project, select Project settings, then Features.
2. Turn on Suggestions.

After the feature is turned on, the suggestions will appear automatically in the issue view for requests and incidents along with other context fields.

Read more about suggestions.

New automation rules and the Service Triage Agent

We’re introducing new automation rule templates that trigger the Service Triage Rovo Agent and use its responses to automate field updates for requests in your service project.

Currently, we’ve introduced the following templates:

• A rule that updates the summary based on the issue description
• A rule that updates the priority for an issue based on similar requests
• A rule that updates the request type for an issue based on similar requests
• A rule that generates a summary of the issue when it’s closed

For example, when a new request is created in your project, Service Triage can suggest a priority based on similar requests and update the priority field if the suggested value is different from the current value. The Agent also adds an internal comment to describe the updates, so that anyone working on the request can view the changes.

The fastest way to get started is to use a template:

1. In your service project, go to Automation.
2. Select the Templates tab.
3. Select the Service Management category

If you’re a customer currently using the ‘External Assets Platform’ to add context to your Jira issues, we recommend you consider adopting Assets in Jira Service Management, available to Premium and Enterprise customers. Assets allows you to use the Assets objects custom field to display your objects on Jira tickets, and gives you the ability to display your Assets data within Confluence, along with many other features.

Jira: Grant permissions to manage versions (releases) in one project only

You can now assign a dedicated Manage Versions permission in Jira and Jira Service Management projects without giving full project admin access. Users with this permission can create, release, archive, merge, edit or delete versions within a specific project only. This applies to company-managed projects in Jira and Jira Service Management, and team-managed projects in Jira only.

Jira automatically grants this permission to users with project admin permissions.

To grant the Manage versions (releases) permission in a company-managed project:

1. Go to a project’s settings then select Permissions.
2. Using the Actions menu, select Edit permissions.
3. Under Project permissions, look for Manage versions (releases). Add the roles, groups, or people you’d like.

The end is near for Epic Link and Parent Link fields

For a little over a year, we've been working to combine the Epic Link and Parent link fields in company-managed projects into the new universal Parent field (which you can read about here). To prevent data loss, the values from both fields have been automatically ported into the Parent field.

With this change, the values in the Epic Link and Parent link fields are no longer visible on the Issue view. If your issue view still includes these fields, simply swap it for the Parent field instead.

Read more in our documentation

See all your Asset attributes now in Forms

Take the guesswork out of selecting the right Asset when filling out a form and find all attributes now visible on Asset form fields. Previously when filling out a form, customers would only be able to see the object name which made it hard to know what option to select. Now you’ll see the same attributes listed alongside each object - just like you do on request types.

Add and remove fields from field configurations; new tools to optimize fields in your projects

We’re introducing a number of improvements to the way field configurations and field configuration schemes work. In addition, we’re also adding some new tools which make it easier to remove unused work types and fields from schemes. Here are more details about what’s changing.

You can now remove and add fields to field configurations

Removing a field from a field configuration is similar to hiding it. However, when a field is removed, its configuration isn’t preserved. It will need to be entered again if the field is re-associated.

Adding a field to a field configuration is similar to unhiding it. Once unhidden, it becomes available to the projects associated with the field configuration scheme.

You can manage field associations in the Jira admin panel or using the new field association REST API.

We’re releasing tools which allow you to optimize fields

These tools will automatically identify and remove unused work types from a scheme, as well as unused fields from a field configuration scheme and field configuration. For more details about these tools, see this Atlassian community announcement or type: entry-hyperlink id: 5m0df9oFEgswh305bKEQ1v

Unlocking another level of help center customization

1. Go to the help center of your choice.
2. Select Customize, then Customize look and feel from the navigation.
3. Scroll down the side panel to find the navigation color settings.

To manage section settings:
1. Go to the help center of your choice.
2. Select Customize, then Edit page layout from the navigation.
3. Select the section you want to customize and manage its settings on the side panel.

AI drafts to help you write knowledge articles faster

To make it easier for your team to write articles, we’re releasing a new feature that uses Atlassian Intelligence to generate drafts for the most common requests you receive from your customers. AI drafts are based on details such as summary, description, and comments in issues.

To access AI drafts, you need to have an active knowledge base and Atlassian Intelligence turned on for your site.

To view AI drafts:

1. From your service project, go to Knowledge base.
2. Select Suggested topics.
3. Under the Topics column, you can view specific topics for which customers are submitting requests but your knowledge base doesn't have corresponding articles.
4. Select View draft.

Make necessary edits to the draft and create an article to add to your knowledge base.

Views added to queues in Jira Service Management

We're introducing the ability to choose how you view work items (issues) in your Queues in Jira Service Management. Providing more flexibility to support how your team likes to track and manage their work, this upgrade means there are now three ways to view each of your queues: as a list, a board, or a calendar.

The current default view of your queues will be renamed to 'list view' and will become just one of the ways you can view the work items in each queue. You can have different views on each queue and any views that you add will appear as tabs, allowing you to easily switch between the different views.

You need to be a Jira or project admin to add or remove views from your queues.

Add a view to a queue

1. From your service project, go to Queues and select the queue to which you'd like to add a view.
2. From your queue, select the Add to navigation button. You'll find it in the tab bar between the queue name and the search bar.
3. Choose the view you would like to add, then select Add to navigation.

Once you've added multiple views to a queue, you can use the tabs to quickly switch between them.

Remove a view from your queue

1. From your service project, go to Queues, then select the queue from which you'd like to remove a view.
2. From your queue's tab bar, hover on the view you would like to remove, then select Tab options next to the view name.
3. Select Remove. You can add the view again at any time.
4. In the Tab options menu, you'll also have the option to edit the name of each view and change its position on the tab bar.

Customize the settings for each queue's views

The ability to customize each view for each queue can be managed from Queue setttings.

1. From your service project, select the More actions menu next to Queues, then select Queue settings.
2. In the Actions column, select Edit queue to access the settings for that queue.
3. Here you can access the general settings for your queue, along with the specific settings for the list, board, and calendar views if you have added those views to the queue.

Validate additional fields input in Atlassian Automation

We're introducing a new feature that allows you to validate additional fields input in Atlassian Automation rules, including JSON syntax. This feature will help you to find possible warnings and errors that may impact your rule, so you can fix them before it runs. It'll be available across components that allow you to provide additional fields input, including the Create issue, Clone issue, Edit issue, Transition issue and Create incident actions.

You can also validate input containing smart values that are wrapped in double curly brackets, such as assignee.displayName. This feature has limited capacity to validate input that contains smart values without these brackets. We currently don't support validating input that only contains smart values (which may occur if you try to enter your JSON through smart values alone) or smart values sections.

To get started with this feature:

1. Open the Automation rulebuilder.
2. Select a trigger for your rule, plus an action that supports additional fields, like Create issue.
3. Enter your desired input into the Additional fields section.
4. Open the dropdown menu next to Turn on rule.
5. Select Validate rule.
6. Any errors or warnings found in your rule, including the additional fields, will be displayed.
7. Fix any errors or warnings before turning on your rule. Warnings don't need to be fixed before the rule is enabled, but we recommend resolving them as soon as possible, to ensure your rule will run as planned.
8. Select Turn on rule.
9. Your rule is now ready to use.

New Workato action in Jira Automation

We’ve built a new integration with Workato. The integration connects your enterprise stack with Jira Service Management, unlocking powerful use cases for both IT and business teams.

With the new Workato integration you can connect and run Workato recipes, allowing you to fetch information and take actions across hundreds of applications directly from Jira Automation via the Trigger Workato recipe action in your automation rule.

Before using the Trigger Workato recipe step or action for the first time, Premium and Enterprise Jira Service Management Cloud customers will need to create a connection with Workato by:

1. Generating a Developer API token and a Platform API/auth token from Workato.
2. Using these credentials to create a Workato connection from Jira Automation.

You can create a connection with Workato by creating an automation rule that uses the Trigger Workato recipe action. This action triggers a Workato recipe that runs at a specific point in an automation rule. You can use smart values to access Workato request response data in subsequent rule actions.

Connect and manage on-call schedules in Slack

You can now connect on-call team schedules to your team's Slack channel and receive notifications about any changes to on-call shift changes.

While connecting the on-call schedule to Slack, you can also set up an alias like !Hello that can be used to tag or @mention the current on-call member in a message. It lets you easily see who's on call and notifies the on-call member.

To link a schedule to your team's Slack channel,

• Run the command /jsmops oncall on the channel and click Connect schedule.
• Alternatively, you can run the command /jsmops connect schedule to start connecting the schedule.

Automate entire business processes with advanced automation rules

Add more functionality to your automation rule, allowing you to link multiple connected processes together in a single rule. This can help reduce the number of rules you need to maintain. We’re beginning with Advanced components such as Branch at the same time, which enables execution of multiple components in parallel. Rule groups enable execution of multiple components in specific segments.

Available for Cloud Premium and Enterprise editions only. Find the new Advanced component type available to select from after you’ve added a trigger to a rule and select +Add component.

We've launched a new prioritization project template

When you set up a new project in Jira, you can use project templates. There are many to choose from, including specific templates from different apps like Jira Product Discovery and Jira Service Management.

We've just added a new template for projects that are all about gathering ideas and prioritizing them. With this new prioritization template you can list ideas and add data to them. You can then use this data with common frameworks (such as RICE) to prioritize. The project has multiple views, like an effort and impact matrix, list, or roadmap view, so you can see and share your priorities in a way that suits you.

Anyone who has Jira Product Discovery and permission to create projects can use this template.

Trigger an Automation rule during a virtual service agent conversation

Use the new run Automation rule step to trigger Automation rules during virtual service agent conversations!

Your customers won’t notice when an Automation rule is run – it all happens in the background while they're chatting with the virtual service agent.

Find out how to run an Automation rule in a conversation flow

Record a Loom directly from a task in Jira

If you are in a Jira business project and open a task, you might see a small banner recommending Loom.

Loom is a screen recording tool that integrates with other Atlassian apps, such as Jira. Screen recordings and videos are the best way to show people what you mean or explain something in visual detail.

You will have the option to add Loom quickly from the banner and record your screen directly within Jira. So, you can explain what your task comment or description means in clear detail.

End users will see the banner but can't add Loom, they will send their admin a request for Loom instead. If you are an admin, you can add Loom from the banner. You can turn these recommendations off at any time from admin.atlassian.com.

See the Premium features in-product before starting a trial

We're introducing a new and faster way to understand and upgrade to Jira Service Management Premium trial. Whenever you choose to upgrade to Premium or start a trial, you will see a modal which lists all new features available to you.

Now you can create roadmaps from your Jira timeline

Sometimes, you need a custom roadmap view to share your work plans with certain stakeholders. You may not need to include specific dates, for example. Now, you can access Jira Product Discovery from the Jira timeline view. Look for a button that says "Create roadmap" when you select the "Share", " Today," or "Timeline mode" buttons.

You can use Jira Product Discovery to create custom roadmaps, then share them with anyone, even if they don't use Jira.

Only people who are admins and don't already have Jira Product Discovery will see this change. You dismiss it anytime.

Playbooks in Jira Service Management

You can now use playbooks to create clear, step-by-step instructions and automated rules for resolving issues. Similar to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), playbooks help standardize and optimize your issue resolution processes. Read more about playbooks.

To view a list of playbooks, go to Project settings > Playbooks.

Click a playbook to open it, or create a new playbook using the Create playbook button.

We're making it easier to compare plans during a trial

When you're in a trial, you can now click on the trial button in the top navigation and see the plan options available to you. This way, it'll be easier for you to understand the plan that is best for your team based on the features that plan includes. You can also easily upgrade and pay from the plans page.

Get notified when email requests fail

Project admins now receive notifications right in their inbox whenever emailed requests are not processed successfully. This proactive means of communication ensures that admins are informed timely of failed email requests or connection issues with email accounts connected to their project.

By default, notifications are sent to all listed admins of a project. There is also an option to send these notifications to a specific email address instead of all admins.

In cases where self-signup is disabled or a customer doesn't have access to a service project, we will also notify customers so they are aware their request was not processed.

To specify who receives these notifications for your existing connected accounts:

1. From your service project, go to Project settings, select Channels and self service, and then select Email.
2. Select Edit against the required email address.
3. Enter the email address of your choice in Error notifications email address.
4. Select Save.

Edit your workflows quicker and easier with the power of AI!

In Jira sites that have Rovo enabled, the New Workflow Editor now includes an AI Workflow builder agent that can help add, change, or delete statuses and transitions in a workflow. It can also answer questions about the key differences between the old and new workflow editor.

While the agent is still learning, you can prompt it to add or remove the following rules from an existing workflow:

• Restrict who can move a work item
• Update a work item field
• Validate a work item field value
• Change an assignee
• Check a work item field value

Then select Update workflow on the workflow diagram to save the changes it suggests.

Journeys chart added to project summary

A new Journeys chart has been added to the metrics and charts that can be found on the project summary page. Read about the project summary page in Jira Service Management.

Navigate to your service project, then select Summary in your project’s sidebar.

At the bottom of the page, you'll see the Journeys bar chart showing the count of in-progress journeys by journey name.

• Note that you'll only see the Journeys chart if Journeys is available in your project. Read more about journeys.
• If Journeys is available but you are yet to create or run any journeys, you'll see a placeholder for the chart with a message that there's no journey data available. Create and run some journeys to populate the chart with data.

Avoid accidentally deleting work items

We’re changing the way Premium and Enterprise users delete work items to help avoid accidental deletions. When you attempt to delete a work item, you can now choose to archive it, or confirm that you want to delete it.

Create and manage email templates for stakeholder notifications

Jira Service Management Premium and Enterprise users can now save time and customize stakeholder notifications on the go with email templates.

Email templates provide an easy and efficient way to customize stakeholder notifications. They eliminate the need to draft new emails from scratch, especially when teams are responding to incidents, allowing for quick customization and notification. Templates ensure consistent messaging by structuring emails to include all necessary information. You can also use predefined placeholders and dynamic fields, which help minimize the likelihood of omitting critical details.

To create an email template:

1. Go to Settings, then Products.
2. Under Jira Service Management, select Incident management.
3. Go to Email templates.
4. Select Create template.
5. Type in name, sender and reply address, upload header image, if any, and type in the email body.
6. Select Save template.

Find out more about creating and managing email templates.

Add tags to alerts in Slack for better organization

If you're using the Slack integration with your alert management, you can now add tags to your alerts directly from Slack. This will help you organize, categorize, and filter your alerts based on specific criteria.

• To add tags to a new or an active alert, select the more actions menu (•••), then select Add tags.
• To add tags to a closed alert, select Add tags.

You can add multiple tags at once by separating them with commas.

A cleaner All activity tab in work items

We’ve updated the All tab in the activity section of each work item. This improves readability and reduces clutter.

It's easier to scan and understand updates in a work item’s history, at a glance:

• Entry grouping: Similar updates are now grouped together to reduce clutter.

• Modern UI: Improved alignment, formatting, and date presentation for a cleaner look.

• Progressive disclosure: Long descriptions and details are now collapsible, reducing excessive scrolling.

This more structured and intuitive layout helps you quickly access relevant updates without the overwhelming detail.

Jira: Improvements to the child work item panel

The child work item panel is faster to load and more responsive.
You now get smoother scrolling, better performance and real-time, instant updates (without needing to refresh).

Performance and reliability improvements for Assets in Jira Service Management

As announced last year, we’re rolling out several changes to the Assets platform in Jira Service Management designed to improve the system's overall performance and reliability. This includes adding new limits and removing support for several AQL operators, functions, and endpoints. See the following Changelogs for more details:

https://developer.atlassian.com/changelog/#CHANGE-1739

https://developer.atlassian.com/changelog/#CHANGE-1915

Jira: Introducing an improvement to attachment previews

Introducing Grid view for attachments.

This change improves the organization and visualization of attachments.

Attachments appear in a grid view rather than the strip view and list view. You'll still be able to switch to another view, and save that as the default if you prefer.

Grid view helps you to more easily navigate through your content.

Limits to work type schemes and field configurations are coming in 2026

We recently announced that Jira will limit the number of work types that can be used in a project to improve performance and reliability of large sites starting in February 2026. Work type schemes will be capped at 150 work types per scheme, and field configurations will be capped at 700 fields.

In our recent post in the Atlassian Community, we cover what tools are available to help you clean up your sites in preparation for this change.

Subscribe to your change calendar and explore the new filters

We’ve made major improvements to the change calendar to help you stay on top of change events and avoid conflicts across your services, Assets objects, and teams.

Subscribe to change calendar from your external calendar
You can now generate an iCal link and subscribe to your change calendar from apps like Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook. This lets you stay updated on change activity without logging into Jira Service Management.

New JQL filtering in change calendar
Use JQL to filter work items shown in the calendar view. Filter by affected services, affected Assets objects, change types, or any custom fields, so you can focus on exactly what matters.

Show or hide change events by type
Choose which types of change events to display on the calendar, including freeze windows, maintenance windows, and standard work items.

Link your change calendar with affected services and Assets objects
You can now select affected services and Assets object fields when creating a new change window. This helps surface change conflicts more clearly and ensures better risk insights for service-dependent work. Read how to connect Assets schemas with changes

Generate a subscription link directly from your change calendar following these steps:

• Navigate to Operations > Change calendar in your service project.
• Select Subscribe to change calendar icon in your toolbar.
• Choose the event types and calendar format, then generate your calendar link.
• Paste the link into your external calendar app (Google, Apple, or Outlook). Read more about subscribing to change calendar

Once subscribed, you’ll automatically see any future updates to change events in your external calendar.

You don’t need to take any action to start using the new filters or event fields. They’re already available in the change calendar and the change event creation form.

Set up operations from Your work

You can now easily set up operations from the Your work page in Jira Service Management if you haven't set them up yet.

With operations, you can empower your team to stay on top of alerts with advanced alerting and on-call capabilities.

* Integrate your apps and keep alert data in sync

* Route alerts to the right people


• Create and manage on-call schedules to respond to alerts faster

Enable your project summary page in Jira Service Management

For projects that have never had the project summary page enabled, admins will see a prompt that provides information about the summary page, with the option to enable it in one step. Read about the project summary page in Jira Service Management.

Jira and project admins can enable a project’s summary page from the Feature lab. Once enabled, the project summary page can be viewed by both admins and agents.

1. From your service project, go to Project settings, then select Features.
2. On the Features page, look for the Feature lab heading and find the Project summary toggle.
3. Use the toggle to turn the feature on (or off).

New 'offer options' standard flow in the virtual service agent

We heard your feedback about the escalate standard flow creating too many work items, so we've introduced a new standard flow, called offer options. Depending on the situation and the channel, offer options is sometimes used instead of escalate.

Offer options is configurable, and lets you choose 1–3 options to present to your customers. These appear as buttons:

• Raise a request starts the escalate standard flow, which lets the customer know a request has been raised and creates a work item.
• See search results takes the customer to the relevant portal, and shows search results based on their first message in the conversation.
• Ask another way tells your customer to try rephrasing their question.

Read more about the 'offer options' standard flow, or find out how to configure 'offer options' in the virtual service agent.

Refined drag and drop experience in the work item

We’re refining the drag and drop experience in the work item to make it more consistent and intuitive across different views in Jira.

We’re running an experiment with two variations.

Link your team to Jira projects and Confluences spaces

You can now associate teams with projects in Jira and spaces in Confluence, making it easier to find the teams who work in any given project or space. You'll see linked teams at the top of the Jira project page and a Confluence space's main page, as well as connected projects and spaces on a team's profile.

You can link your team to a Jira project or Confluence space from the "Team links" section at the top of the team profile. You can also link a team from the Jira project or Confluence space themselves:

1. Go to the Jira project or Confluence space's main page that you want to link.
2. At the top of the page, select the team icon next to the project or space's name.
3. Enter your team name(s) in the search field and select the team(s) you want to link.

Reorder starred projects in the sidebar navigation using drag and drop

You can now reorder the starred projects in your sidebar navigation to more easily organize your projects according to your preferences.

Here's one way you can reorder your starred projects:

1. Navigate to the sidebar in your project.
2. Hover over the starred project you want to move.
3. Drag the project to your desired position.
4. Drop it to set the new order.

Here's another way you can reorder your starred projects:

1. Navigate to the sidebar in your project.
2. Select the More actions for the starred project you want to move, then select Move in sidebar.
3. Select where you'd like to move it in the order.

Use AI-powered support chat on Atlassian support

We are excited to announce a new chat feature on our contact form. This feature uses Atlassian Intelligence on the contact form to streamline the inquiry process and provide real-time assistance.

For more details, visit our website Atlassian Support

To use AI chat in the contact form:

1. Go to support.atlassian.com/contact
2. Fill out the form, and let us know what you need and your URL.
3. Some users might see an AI chat feature (Tell us about your problem) that will help you out by suggesting solutions
4. You can opt out and continue with the traditional form submission if you prefer.

Create and reorder work items faster in the All work tab

We’re rolling out sibling create and drag and drop re-ranking in the All work tab, so it’s easier to structure and prioritise related work items without switching views.

You can now quickly create a new work item at the same level (a sibling), and re-rank work items by using drag and drop (select and move) when sorted by rank.

Now available for both team-managed and company-managed projects in the All work tab.

Key benefits:

• Plan faster by creating structured work items in context.
• Prioritise quickly with drag and drop (select and move) ranking.
• Avoid unnecessary actions and switching views.

1. Go to the All work tab.
2. Check that your view is sorted by Rank.
   1. Select a work item, then drag and drop (move) to reorder based on priority.
   2. Select a work item, then + Sibling to create a related work item.

Jira: Collapsible sections in work items

You can now collapse sections in a work item view to reduce scrolling and highlight key information.

To use collapsible sections:

1. Open a work item in Jira.
2. Find the section you want to collapse, such as Description or Activity.
3. Select the chevron or section title to collapse or expand it.

Due date notifications now available

As the assignee of work items that are overdue or due today, you'll now receive daily notifications within Jira and via email. Each notification links to a pre-filtered page showing your overdue and due work items. Manage your due date notification preferences by:

1. Select Settings.

2. Select Personal Jira Settings, then Digests.

For more details, join the conversation and provide feedback on our Atlassian Community.

Create custom roadmaps directly from your project menu

Jira Product Discovery is an Atlassian app that allows people to create custom roadmaps. You can add or edit information such as dates, assignees, and more.

You may now see a recommendation in your project menu about Jira Product Discovery roadmaps. You can select this recommendation, add Jira Product Discovery, and create a new project with a custom roadmap template.

Only admins will see this recommendation. It is being rolled out to people on Free Jira plans first, then it will roll out to Standard and Premium Jira plans in the next few months. You can dismiss it at any time or go to admin.atlassian.com to manage your recommendation settings.

Prompt for Jira users to return to Confluence after inactivity

If someone has access to both Jira and Confluence but has not used Confluence in the last 28 days, they will now see a flag in Jira encouraging them to rejoin their team in Confluence. This flag includes a direct link to Confluence Home and an option to dismiss the message.

To see and interact with this new flag in Jira:

1. Log in to Jira with an account that also has access to Confluence.
2. If you have not been active in Confluence for at least 28 days, look for a flag at the top of your Jira screen.
3. Select "Go to Confluence" to visit Confluence Home, or select the "X" icon to dismiss the flag.

Improved object view in the Assets object graph

We're thrilled to announce a major update to the Assets object graph, designed to streamline your workflow and enhance your user experience. This update brings a host of new features and improvements that make managing your object data more intuitive and efficient.

Improve visual and hierarchy of the Quick actions menu in the work item

We’ve improved the Quick actions menu in the work item with a cohesive visual look, and better action hierarchy and grouping, making it easier for you to find and use the tools you need.

We’ve also added Goals and recommendations to the menu.

Open a work item and select the Add button under the summary.

Update more fields with AI triage

You can now update additional fields such as Priority and Assignee while triaging work items in your queues. When you triage work items, AI will suggest values for priority and assignee. If the suggestions don't match what you need for your work items, you can select more suitable values from the list and continue the bulk update.

We're making it easier to find Confluence in Jira

If you've been given access to Confluence, you'll see a spotlight highlighting how you can navigate to the in-Jira version of Confluence, called Project Pages. This way, you'll be able to find and create documentation right in Jira.

We’ve made looking up Assets objects in Automation easier

You can now use filters to generate an AQL query when using the Lookup objects action in Automation. Simply select Basic to choose an object type plus any attributes, and an AQL query will be generated for you. This query will use attributes as placeholders for you to then customize with relevant smart values. The results of this query can also be used in other Automation actions using the lookupObjects smart value. Read more about using smart values for Assets.

Improvements to the Fields pages in Jira Admin - Part 1

We're rolling out the first phase of our improved fields management experience in Jira that we announced in the Atlassian Community at the start of June. Our post outlines the full list of changes as well as how this fits into our larger plan. The Atlassian Community is also where we'll share updates, announce future changes in full detail, and engage with the community to make sure we're delivering an experience that meets your needs.

This first release includes changes that make field management simpler and more efficient for Jira admins, such as a redesigned Fields page (formerly Custom fields) that now shows fields created by Jira or plugins (i.e., System fields). You can also create and add new fields to configuration schemes without leaving the page, and filter and sort fields based on Field category type.

Enhanced automation filtering and search experience

We’re making it easier and faster for you to find what you need in Atlassian Automation.

Streamlined template filtering: You can now effortlessly filter templates by app and trigger, allowing you to quickly narrow down your options and find the perfect template for your needs.

Faster and more reliable search: Our enhanced search capability ensures that results are displayed more quickly and reliably, so you can spend less time searching and more time automating.

To find new template filters:

1. Open Automation from your Atlassian app.
2. Select the Templates tab.

New ways to associate a field to a field configuration scheme in Jira Admin

When this feature rolls out, admins will be able to:

• associate a new field to all of the field configurations used by a scheme without leaving the page, and
• view and edit which field configurations that field is a part of via the More actions (•••) menu on the Fields page

This work is part of our ongoing efforts to improve Fields management in Jira.

Attachments now supported for the 'Send customized email’ action in Automation

We’ve introduced the ability to add attachments to emails sent as part of your automation rules.

Once a rule has been saved or enabled, you’ll be able to upload files as part of the email content. When the rule executes, any uploaded files will be included as attachments to the emails that are sent.

This capability will be available when using the Send customized email action as part of your Jira automation rules, and will become available for use in other Atlassian apps in the future.

Read more about the Send customized email[ action in Automation.|https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-automation-actions/#Send-customized-email]

This highly-requested update includes:

• Attachment support: You can now add up to 10 attachments (in most file formats with a total size of 4MB) to your automated emails.
• Secure storage: All attachments are stored securely in Atlassian’s media platform, ensuring reliability and compliance.
• Easy preview: Once uploaded, you can open a preview of an attachment by selecting a card in the Attachments field.

To add attachments to your automated emails:

• Add the Send customized email action to an automation rule, then fill in the email details in the Settings tab.
• Select the Content tab, then from the Attachments field browse or drop the files you want to attach to the email.
• Select Update.

Note that the rule must be saved or enabled before you can add attachments to the email action.

More functionality in the new workflow editor, plus it's becoming the default experience

This release has two small improvements which means the New workflow editor can do everything that the old workflow editor could do. These changes are:

• You can set a name for your transitions when you create them, and rename existing transitions.
• When you change the name of a status that's included in a transition, the transition automatically updates to match the new name.

And with those changes, the New Workflow Editor is a worthy successor to the old one, and we're excited for it to become the new face of workflow changes in Jira.

That said, Jira will use the new workflow editor by default when editing global workflows unless you've set the old editor as your default in settings. If you set the old as your default workflow editing experience, then nothing will change for you, but we are planning to deprecate it soon.

For now, enjoy the vastly superior new workflow editor. Let us know what you think by sending us feedback through Jira.

Prompt inactive Confluence users to create content from work items

We're introducing a feature that encourages inactive Confluence users to create content directly from Jira work items. This feature targets users who haven't been active in Confluence for the past 28 days and belong to sites that have had Confluence for more than 14 days. When these users view certain Jira work items, they'll see a suggestion to create a relevant project document in Confluence.

To start using this feature:

1. Open a Jira issue of type epic, story, or bug.
2. Look for the Confluence content section.
3. Select the suggested template to create a project document in Confluence.
4. Follow the prompts to complete and publish your document.

Add inline images to the 'Description' field on request forms

We're rolling out a Help Center enhancement that allows images to be directly embedded in the Description field of a request form. This enables help seekers to provide screenshots, diagrams, or other images related to their requests and gives the support team the context they need to resolve requests quickly.

To maintain a clear distinction between embedded content and additional supporting files and to avoid duplication in the activity feed, inline attachments will appear in the Description field, and file uploads will appear in the Activity section of the request, under the first comment.

This feature respects the attachment settings the admin has defined, which can be modified in the admin configuration panel for each request type.

In the request form:

• When attachments are enabled, users will see both the Attachment section and the inline image icon in the rich text editor toolbar within the Description field.
• When attachments are disabled, neither the Attachment section nor the inline image option will be displayed to honor the admin’s configuration selection.

To add inline images to the Description field when submitting a request from the Help Center:

1. Go to your Help Center and start a new request.
2. In the Description field, select the image icon in the rich text editor toolbar.
3. Upload or drag and drop an image to embed it in a specific position within the description. Repeat as needed.
4. Complete and submit the request.

We're deleting unused field associations

Starting today (June 16, 2025), we’re beginning the process of removing unused field associations from your field configuration schemes. We expect this process to take several weeks from today. Once finished, this will improve the performance and stability of your Jira instances.

If this causes any issues in your projects, we have documented the steps for adding fields back in this Atlassian community announcement. The page also covers how we determine which associations to delete. If you have any questions about this scheduled deletion, you can ask them in the comments section of the linked announcement.

Add conditions to journey types now in Journeys

You can now control if a specific work item should be created at all as part of a journey. For example, you may only want the ‘Assign office space’ work item to be created as part of someone’s onboarding journey if they aren’t a remote worker. Equally, you may have different work items needing to be created depending on the location, role or seniority of an employee.

You can also set up to five conditions on a work item with an AND operator. This means all conditions must be met. For example, you may have a work item for ‘Provision company phone’ with conditions such as: Location equals Australia AND Role equals Manager AND Employee type is one of FULL-TIME, PART-TIME.

Read more about Journeys

Set the default comment behavior in the work item view

We're introducing the ability for admins to set the default behavior for comments on the work item view (in addition to transition screens, which has already been released).

Admins can now configure the default comment behavior at the instance level, ensuring that the setting aligns with their organization's communication preferences.

As part of this change, admins can choose whether comments default to 'Internal note' or 'Reply to customer' in both the transition screen and the work item view, enhancing control and flexibility in managing communications within a team's workflow.

To change the comment behaviour defaults:

• Go to Settings, then Products.
• In the Jira Service Management section, select Configuration.
• In the Default comment behavior section, select the desired defaults for both the work item view and transition screen.

Group by any field in list view

You can now group work items in the list view by a wider range of fields, and quickly find your preferred grouping options with a new searchable dropdown that highlights your most recent choices.

To group work items by any supported field in the list view:

1. Go to any Jira list view.
2. Select the Group by dropdown at the top of the list.
3. Use the search bar to find the field you want to group by, or pick from your five most recently used options.
4. Select your preferred field to instantly group your work items.
5. To create a new work item within a group, select the Create button in that group (except for the Goals field).

Add web links to the top of your team profile

We've consolidated all your team's important links to the "Team links" section at the top of the profile. Now, you'll see connected Jira, Confluence, and Loom spaces alongside any links to external tools or important pages.

To add links to your profile:

1. Go to the team's profile page.
2. Find the "Team links" section at the top, and select the + button.
3. Paste in the link and change the display text if you want it to say something different.

Allow Slack apps to trigger on-call alias responses

You can now allow Slack apps, workflows, or webhooks to trigger Jira Service Management ChatOps responses using schedule aliases.

Previously, ChatOps only responded to alias messages sent by users. Now, when an app posts a message with an alias, you can allowlist it directly from the message shortcut menu. Once allowlisted, ChatOps will respond just like it does for user messages, making it easier to integrate bots, monitoring tools, and workflows into your on-call process.

To allow an app:
Hover over the alias message sent by the app, select the More actions menu > More message shortcuts > Allowlist app

Jira: Fixing JQL query errors using AI is now generally available

We’re excited to announce that AI-powered JQL error fixing is now generally available in Jira.

This feature automatically detects and suggests fixes for common issues, like syntax errors and typos, saving your time and effort when troubleshooting queries. It helps you quickly get to the work you need by making JQL easier and more reliable.

Simply enter and run your JQL query. If there are any errors, they’ll be listed below the editor, along with an AI-generated, error-free query that you can review and instantly apply.

Save playbooks as draft

Creating a meaningful playbook often takes time, and it may not always possible to have every detail ready upfront. To add flexibility to the playbook creation process, we’ve introduced a new Save as draft feature for playbooks.

With draft mode, you can:

• Save your work and return later to complete it.
• Build and refine playbooks at your own pace, without losing progress.
• Skip validations that are only required to turn on the playbook.

Navigation: App shortcuts migrated to platform component

App shortcuts in the sidebar now use a shared platform component, replacing previously product-specific implementations. There is no change to the user experience, but this update aims to streamline navigation across Atlassian products, improve app discoverability, and support future customization.

Reconfigure automation rules with Create feature flag in LaunchDarkly Action by June 30, 2025

We are deprecating the “Create feature flag in LaunchDarkly” action in Atlassian Automation on June 30, 2025. As a result, the rules linked to LaunchDarkly and this action will cease to function as intended after this date. To prevent rule failures, all rules employing this action must be reconfigured on or before June 30, 2025. Please note that the reconfiguration can only be completed successfully if you have an account with LaunchDarkly.

More about the deprecation of the LaunchDarkly Action in Atlassian Automation.

To determine if your rules are affected by this update and reconfigure them:

1. Select Automation from project/global settings where you’re an administrator.
2. Select the Action filter, then select the Create feature flag in LaunchDarkly from the list of options
3. Open the rule and select the Action component of the rule
4. Switch to Send web request action to create a feature flag through LaunchDarkly's public API

Hide project items from the sidebar

We’re excited to announce that administrators can now hide project items from the sidebar in Jira Service Management. This feature helps to declutter your workspace and tailor your navigation to what matters most.

Import Data Manager objects directly into a schema in Assets

Import Data Manager objects directly into a schema in Assets

Create a new import and select “Data Manager import”, then select a Saved Search from a Data Manager object class. Run your import to bring Data Manager objects into a schema in Assets. Learn more about importing objects from Data Manager into a schema in Assets.

We've also made improvements to how we handle fields that contain secured information in Adapters:

Secured fields in Adapters are now both encrypted and masked

After you create or edit a job in Adapters, those fields that contain secured information (such as passwords and API keys) are now both encrypted and masked. When entering information into a secured field, you won’t be able to choose the masking string of twenty asterisks (********************) as a value. Learn more about configuring a flat file, database, API-based, or Powershell-based job.

Note: Data Manager does not currently comply with FedRamp, BYOK encryption, or the requirements of Data Portability as outlined in the Atlassian Privacy Policy. For more information, please see the Atlassian Customer Agreement.

The Edit page action is now available in Jira Automation

We've made the Edit page action available for use in Jira Automation. Previously, you could only use it in Confluence Automation.

The Edit Page action enables your rule to edit and add content to an existing page in Confluence. It can now be used alongside other actions, including those from Rovo AI agents.

Control playbooks visibility using JQL

You can now use JQL in the playbook details section to control playbook visibility. This helps agents see only the most relevant playbooks, improving process efficiency and reducing noise. Read more about playbook details.

Clearer status labelling for bypassed approvals

In an approval state of a workflow, we’ve changed the status ‘Cancelled’ to ‘Bypassed’ when an approval step has been skipped.

The 'Cancelled' label for approvals has been updated to 'Bypassed' to better reflect the action of skipping an approval step without implying the request itself was cancelled. This change aims to minimize confusion, especially for customers transitioning from server to cloud environments.

As part of this change:

• If a work item’s approval state is manually transitioned to a status other than ‘Approve’ or ‘Decline’, it will be recorded as ‘Bypassed’
• If an approval state is bypassed, any active approvals (including approver decisions) that exist for an approval state will be retained in the approvals activity history
• JQL queries will return work items with approvals activity, even if the approval is bypassed.

Data Manager has completed the Open Beta period

Data Manager has completed the Open Beta period

We’re pleased to announce that Data Manager has now completed the Open Beta period and will be available as a standard feature to all users with an Atlassian Cloud Premium or Enterprise instance of Assets.

New ways to speed up incident response in Slack (plus Zoom support)

You can now automate more steps in your incident response process using Slack and Zoom, helping your team collaborate faster and stay in sync when it matters most.

New Slack automation actions for incidents

We’ve added new actions to Jira Automation that let you coordinate your incident response directly in Slack:

• Add bookmarks to the incident channel
• Add members to the channel using smart values or email addresses
• Add Slack apps to the channel for enhanced workflows
• Send channel messages with dynamic incident details
• Send direct messages to responders or key stakeholders

These actions are available for Jira Service Management incidents on Premium and Enterprise plans. Read more about automating incident management.

Bonus: Automatically start a Zoom call

You can now use automation to create a Zoom meeting directly from an incident, so your responders can jump into a call without delay. You can even automatically attach the meeting recording to the incident once it's available. Read how to create a Zoom meeting automatically for an incident.

Find work faster with the command palette

We've added new navigation items to the command palette to help you quickly access your work items. You can now view your open work items and work items reported by you more easily.

To access the new navigation items:

1. Open the command palette:
   • Mac: Command + K
   • Windows: Ctrl + K
2. Search for the command View my open work items or View work items reported by me.
3. Select the command to navigate to view those work items.

Automation smart values in the Basic AQL Builder

You can now use Automation smart values in the Basic AQL Builder component. This is an opt-in feature, so your current setup will not change unless you choose to enable it.

To start using Automation smart values in the Basic AQL Builder:

1. Go to the Basic AQL Builder component in your Automation setup.
2. Look for the option to enable smart value support.
3. Opt in to start using smart values in your queries.

Updated flow for turning off email notifications

We’ve updated the unsubscribe process for notification emails to make it more reliable. When you turn off notifications for a work item, you’ll now see a confirmation page, and the action will only complete once you confirm. This ensures unsubscribes are always intentional and keeps you in control of your notifications.

An improved way to edit and create new workflows in company-managed projects

In the workflow editor in company-managed projects, you can now edit an existing workflow and save the changes as a new, inactive workflow, making it easier to create and manage workflow variations.

To use the new 'Save as new workflow' option in the workflow editor:

1. Go to the workflow editor for a company-managed project's workflow.
2. Edit the workflow as needed.
3. Next to the Update workflow option, select the dropdown icon.

Jira ‘projects’ will soon be renamed ‘spaces’

As more teams make Jira their home for work, we’re committed to improving the language in our tools to better reflect the diverse ways you define and manage your work.

As part of these efforts, the term project will soon be replaced with space across all Jira Cloud products, including Jira Service Management and Jira Product Discovery.

• Read more about these changes on the Atlassian Community

This change builds on previous terminology updates, like the transition to 'work' in Jira.

A more stable way to display media in Jira’s work item view editor

Media in Jira’s work item view editor will now use pixel widths instead of relative sizing. This change helps prevent media from resizing unexpectedly while content loads, providing a more consistent experience.

Resize using the new handle: Resize your images using the drag handle located on the sides of the images. Your image will proportionally grow or shrink based on how much you drag it in and out.

Resize using the new pixel entry: Select the image, enter the size in pixels you want, and hit ‘return’. Simple!

What happens to my previously inserted images? Pages containing legacy images, which are not pixel entry or custom sizes, can be easily transformed to the new image resizing format by simply selecting the 'Convert to pixels' option while choosing the image. The images that require conversion will be indicated by a yellow dot located in their top-right corner.

Connect Rovo to Jira Service Management Data Center instances

Rovo Search now supports connecting Jira Service Management Data Center instances to your Atlassian Cloud site. This enables organizations to synchronize and index Service Desk project types, allowing Service Desk work items to appear alongside Jira Software data in Rovo Search for more comprehensive results.

To connect Rovo to Jira Service Management Data Center instances:

1. Create an application tunnel or configure an allowlist (for private networks).
2. Create an incoming application link.
3. Set up the Jira Data Center connector in Atlassian Administration.
4. Once connected, access both Jira Service Management and Jira Software data in Rovo Search.

Improved consistency when editing workflows for work item types in company-managed projects

We’re removing workflow editing from the edit work item type page in company-managed project settings. You can edit the workflow for a work item via the link on the work item types list page.

This experience is more consistent with workflow editing throughout Jira, including access to the new and old workflow editors.

Introducing work item priority variable for customer notifications

We're adding a new variable called work item priority to customer notifications. You can add this variable to your notification templates to insert the priority of a work item in your message.

To add variables to your notification templates for customers:

1. From your service project, select Project settings, then Notifications, then Customer notifications.
2. Choose the notification you want to edit, then select Edit.
3. Under Content, select Insert variable to add variables and pull blocks of information from work items.
4. Select Save to confirm your changes.

Assets now available to use in journeys

You can now set Assets to fields on work items in journeys to further power your processes. This allows you to better manage large-scale processes such as Onboarding or Offboarding where Assets data plays a crucial role.

Jira ‘projects’ will soon be renamed ‘spaces’

As more teams make Jira their home for work, we’re committed to improving the language in our tools to better reflect the diverse ways you define and manage your work.

As part of these efforts, the term project will soon be replaced with space across all Jira Cloud products, including Jira Service Management and Jira Product Discovery.

Enhanced inline commenting

You can now comment directly on inline elements such as emojis, statuses, mentions, dates, and inline cards (Smart links). Users can now leave comments on these specific elements, streamlining the commenting process and making it more intuitive and efficient for providing feedback and collaborating on documents.

Blogs are moving

To help you keep your spaces clean and tidy, we're hiding blogs for new spaces and current spaces where blogs aren't being used.

For all other spaces, we're moving blogs into the content tree so they're close to the rest of your work. You can find them in their own section, below Content.

To turn blogs back on, or turn them off if you're no longer using them:

1. Navigate to the space, then select Space settings.
2. Under Manage space, select Features (only space administrators have this option).
3. Select the toggle next to Blogs to turn them on or off.

Add hyperlinks to whiteboards

Hyperlinks can now be added to whiteboards text.

Easily share links with your collaborators on a whiteboard through free text or text within an element. Hyperlinked text will appear blue.

Prevent people from downloading attached files

Data security policies allow you to use rules to control how users, apps, and people outside the organization interact with content in Confluence and Jira.

We’re extending the data export rule to also block the downloading of files attached to Confluence and Jira. After this rule takes effect, users will no longer find a download button in sections like the attachment list, macros, and file previews.

We opted to extend the data export rule rather than introduce a new one because of the considerable overlap between export and download. Our findings showed that the types organizations needing to block exports also wanted to prevent attachment downloads.

This change will affect any existing policies that have configured the data export rule to block exports.

The data export rule requires Atlassian Guard Standard.

To check whether your data security policies currently block exports:

1. Go to admin.atlassian.com. Select your organization if you have more than one.
2. Select Security > Data security policies.
3. Select a policy, and check whether exporting data is blocked.

We've simplified space creation

With just two kinds of pre-set spaces, each made to suit a specific purpose, creating a space is easier than ever before. Choose between Knowledge base and Collaboration, add a description to the overview, and dive into content creation faster than ever before with one of our suggested templates. Or, if you know you want something really specific, choose Custom to manually configure the features and settings for your space.

To read about these changes in more detail, check out the Community post.

To create a space:

1. Select Create from the Confluence navigation bar at the top of the screen.
2. Select Space from the dropdown menu.
3. Choose the option that best fits the purpose of the space you're creating.
4. Confirm your choice, making changes to the defaults as needed.

Creating a Jira issue can now trigger an automation in Confluence

We're adding a new trigger to Confluence automation that will let you run a rule when a new issue is created in a specified Jira project.

Space and product admins can build a rule by navigating to a page and selecting the Automation (lightning bolt) icon.

1. Select Issue created in Jira as your trigger.
2. Select Connect to connect Confluence to your Jira project.
3. If your organization has multiple Jira sites, you will need to select a Jira site from the Create connection menu.
4. Select one or more projects from the dropdown menu.
5. Continue to build your rule.

Whiteboards voting improvements

Run more flexible voting sessions in Confluence whiteboards with anonymous voting and the ability to mark yourself as done.

You can also delete old voting sessions, and hide votes on the whiteboard as needed.

Summarize changes to a page or blog post

Now when Premium and Enterprise customers visit a page for the first time in a while, they can use Atlassian Intelligence to generate a brief summary of changes since their last visit. Use this feature to quickly catch up on changes to a project plan after an important review, or to get a sense of what you missed while you were on vacation.

Atlassian Intelligence will only generate a summary if someone has edited the page since your last visit. If there aren't any changes to summarize, it will present you with a summary of the page to help you refresh your memory on the key points.

Atlassian Intelligence is available to all customers with Premium and Enterprise plans. Organization admins can manage Atlassian Intelligence preferences from Settings > Atlassian Intelligence in Atlassian Administration.

To summarize changes using Atlassian Intelligence:

1. Navigate to a Confluence page or blog post that you’ve visited before.
2. Select Summarize changes from the drop-down menu in the Summarize button on the top right.
3. Atlassian Intelligence will generate a summary of changes since you last visited the page or post.

You can copy the summary to your clipboard, rate the quality of the summary, and provide feedback on the feature using the buttons at the bottom of the summary panel.

Page previews are better than ever before

Premium and Enterprise customers will see a new and improved page preview when they hover over a page title in the content tree. This preview will contain a sampling of three short sentences taken from the page, selected and ranked for relevance by Atlassian Intelligence (AI).

Because this feature uses Atlassian Intelligence (AI), it is only available to customers on the Premium and Enterprise plan. There won't be any change to page previews for Free and Standard customers.

Prevent people from using public links in specific spaces

Data security policies allow you to use rules to control how users, apps, and people outside the organization can interact with content such as Confluence pages and Jira issues.

You can now use the public links rule to prevent people creating and accessing public links in particularly sensitive Confluence spaces. Previously, this was only available for policies that covered classification levels or entire Confluence instances. How the public links rule works

The public links rule requires Atlassian Guard Standard (formerly known as Atlassian Access).

To create a new data security policy or view existing policies:

1. Go to admin.atlassian.com. Select your organization if you have more than one.
2. Select Security > Data security policies.

Creating Jira issues from Confluence is easier than ever with Atlassian Intelligence

Use Atlassian Intelligence (AI) to automatically generate issue summaries and descriptions when you create multiple Jira issues from a Confluence page.

This feature is only available to customers on the Premium and Enterprise plan.

To use Atlassian Intelligence to create Jira issues from Confluence:

1. Select the AI button on the bottom right of the page, then select + Create Jira issues. Confluence will generate a list of issues for you in the right side panel.
2. Hover over an issue and select the pencil icon to review the summary and description for accuracy, make any necessary changes, and add additional information as needed.
3. Select Create to save your changes and create the issue in Jira or Cancel to discard changes.
4. To remove an issue from the list, hover over the issue and select the X.

Create Jira issues from tables

We’ve made it easier to create Jira issues from tables on Confluence pages. Just highlight the relevant rows in your table and select “Create Jira issues”. We will generate a preview of your Jira issues and automatically prefill the issue description and summary using your highlighted text. You can then edit, delete or create the issues.

Confluence: Import multiple Miro boards

You can now easily import multiple Miro boards into Confluence, transforming them into editable Confluence whiteboards. This feature streamlines the process of migrating your content from Miro to Confluence.

To import your Miro boards into Confluence, anyone with create space permission can:

1. Navigate to the Confluence space where you want to import the boards.
2. Select the option to import Miro boards.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to upload your Miro boards.
4. Confirm the import to complete the process.

Better database indexing to improve search results

We're making it easier to find information in Confluence by including the content within databases in search results. Previously, searches only considered database titles, but now, the text inside databases will also be indexed, providing more comprehensive and relevant search results.

Editor AI: Generate titles on publish

We're introducing a new feature that automatically generates a page title using AI when you attempt to publish a page without one. This update reduces the need for inserting a title before publishing a page.

What's new:

• AI-generated titles on publish: Automatically suggests a title when you publish without one.
• User confirmation required: You can accept or edit the AI-generated title before finalizing.

Open Smart Links in new tab

Open embedded Smart Links from Confluence in a new tab with easy access.

Curved lines in whiteboards

Create curved lines and connectors in Confluence whiteboards, in addition to the existing straight and dynamic lines, for more flexible and customizable diagramming.

To create a curved line, select a line on the whiteboard, select Line type, and choose the Curved option. Then start moving the drag handles to shape the line however you like.

Editor: Nested tables in Confluence

We are introducing support for nested tables in Confluence to address a key limitation in the cloud editor. You can now insert tables within tables up to one-level deep. This aims to assist migrations from the legacy editor to cloud, and improve content creation.

What's new:

• Nested table insertion: In the cloud editor you can now insert tables within tables, up to one level deep.
• Migration support: This feature aids in migrating content from the legacy editor, allowing pages with nested tables to be migrated to cloud.
• Improved editing experience: You can maintain complex table structures post-migration.

Rename your managed teams in Atlassian

Back in March 2025, we released Managed Teams for Premium and Enterprise customers. This allowed organization admins to sync an Atlassian team to a group to better control team information and membership, but this change meant the team name would change to match the synced group. Now, organization admins can change a managed team's name from the team profile and while staying synced to the group.

To change a managed team's name:

1. Go to the managed team's profile.
2. Select the team's name, or select the Team settings button.
3. Enter the new name you want to use in the Team name field.

Inbound and Outbound links now available for page analytics

Confluence page analytics now feature inbound and outbound link click analytics. Inbound link analytics show pages that link to the current page and how often users arrive through those links. Outbound link analytics show click counts and click-through rates for links included on the page.

Analytics data includes Confluence active pages and blogs after Jan 31, 2025. Deleted and archived aren't included.

To access page analytics:

1. Navigate to a page.
2. Select the "X people viewed" link in the page's byline.

Whiteboards improvements

Improvements to Confluence whiteboards include the ability to:

• attach lines to the same shape and snapping lines to shapes to improve precision and complexity in diagrams
• drag sections from their title, smart sections won’t action on every load
• bulk import all Jira issues from a JQL query
• click on the zoom percentage to easily adjust zoom level

Improved error for Smart Links in the content tree

When we can’t render the link you’ve inserted as an embedded Smart Link in the content tree, you’ll see why it can’t be displayed, and you can navigate you to the original link.

Editor: Default image insertion update

We're changing the default behavior for image insertion in the editor to always insert images as blocks rather than inline. This update addresses user feedback and analytics showing a preference for block images, enhancing document layout and usability.

Default block image insertion: Images will now be inserted as blocks by default, improving document structure.

Find text easily within your whiteboards

Quickly find text within your whiteboards by using the familiar ctrl+f or cmd+f shortcut. This feature allows you to search for text across your board, making it easier to navigate and locate specific text elements without manually scanning through everything.

To use the new search feature in whiteboards:

1. Open a whiteboard and make sure to focus on the whiteboard.
2. Use ctrl+f or cmd+f to open the search menu.
   • You can also access the search feature from the top More actions (three dots) menu.

Validate additional fields input in Atlassian Automation

We're introducing a new feature that allows you to validate additional fields input in Atlassian Automation rules, including JSON syntax. This feature will help you to find possible warnings and errors that may impact your rule, so you can fix them before it runs. It'll be available across components that allow you to provide additional fields input, including the Create issue, Clone issue, Edit issue, Transition issue and Create incident actions.

You can also validate input containing smart values that are wrapped in double curly brackets, such as assignee.displayName. This feature has limited capacity to validate input that contains smart values without these brackets. We currently don't support validating input that only contains smart values (which may occur if you try to enter your JSON through smart values alone) or smart values sections.

To get started with this feature:

1. Open the Automation rulebuilder.
2. Select a trigger for your rule, plus an action that supports additional fields, like Create issue.
3. Enter your desired input into the Additional fields section.
4. Open the dropdown menu next to Turn on rule.
5. Select Validate rule.
6. Any errors or warnings found in your rule, including the additional fields, will be displayed.
7. Fix any errors or warnings before turning on your rule. Warnings don't need to be fixed before the rule is enabled, but we recommend resolving them as soon as possible, to ensure your rule will run as planned.
8. Select Turn on rule.
9. Your rule is now ready to use.

Fix broken links after migrating from one cloud site to another

When migrating Jira Cloud or Confluence Cloud to a different site, some links between individual entities may break due to changes in the URL. This typically includes:

• Links from other instances to the migrated site, such as links from Confluence pages to your Jira work items.

Previously, the only way to resolve broken links was to contact Atlassian Support, which wasn’t ideal for those who prefer to do it in their own time.

To address this, we’ve included cloud-to-cloud migrations in Link fixing available at admin.atlassian.com. You can now update all broken links in bulk, including local links within your migrated instance and remote links from other instances.

If you use third-party security tools like Zscaler, make sure to allowlist [Source IP Anchoring|https://help.zscaler.com/zia/understanding-source-ip-anchoring] *.atlassian.com to avoid disruptions.

The cache invalidation takes effect 29 days after rollout. If you'd like this applied as soon as possible, update your IP allowlist policies for your tenants or contact us to invalidate the cache for you.

To prepare for these IP allowlist restrictions and ensure uninterrupted access to media assets:

1. Allowlist the domain *.atlassian.com if you're using a third-party security tool (such as Zscaler).
2. Test access to attachments, images, and videos from both internal and external networks.

Atlassian is changing the term 'products' to 'apps'

In support of Atlassian’s System of Work and our evolution toward a unified Atlassian platform, Atlassian is shifting how we think about and refer to our suite of individual products, now called ‘Atlassian apps’, or ‘apps’ for short.

We’ve started rolling out this naming change (from ‘products’ to ‘apps’) across Atlassian and Bitbucket Cloud experiences. Over the coming months, we’ll continue to roll this out to Atlassian apps, websites, and documentation. You may see both terms used as we work through this change.

This is a naming update only and won’t affect how you use the apps.

Use third-party secret providers in Bitbucket Pipelines

Bitbucket Pipelines is excited to introduce third-party secret integration. This powerful new feature allows you to seamlessly retrieve secrets directly from your preferred secret store. This functionality is now available for Bitbucket Cloud-based runners, and self-hosted runners.

To get started with this feature, you'll need to code your own middleware to let Bitbucket communicate with your third-party secret provider.

Then, you'll need to configure your Bitbucket pipelines to retrieve the appropriate secrets at runtime.

If your pipelines are using a self-hosted runner, you'll also need to point that runner to your middleware.

All of these steps are detailed in our help documentation.

ARM cloud runners in Pipelines

Note: This feature is only available to Standard and Premium Bitbucket Cloud customers.

Our release of Linux-based ARM runners in cloud allows you to build and deploy software for ARM-based systems with all the benefits of our fully managed CI/CD platform.

To use the new cloud ARM runners in your pipeline, make the following modifications to your bitbucket-pipelines.yml file:

• Set the ARM runtime in your pipeline’s YAML file, available as a global option or can be set as a step-level option. Declaring it as a global option will result in all steps in the file running on ARM.
• ARM builds require you to use an image that is ARM compatible, meaning you must explicitly declare an image for your build, and that image must support ARM.

See the help documentation for more details.

BBC Multi Line Comments

Multi-line comments can now be created by clicking the add comment icon on a diff line (as you currently do for single-line comments) and dragging your mouse (up or down, either works). As you select additional lines, they will be highlighted with a blue line and you can create the comment upon releasing your mouse. If you want to create a multi-line code suggestion, create a multi-line comment and then add a code suggestion to replace, add, or remove multiple lines of code. As an important note, while a multi-line comment can include removed lines, a code suggestion will only update lines which exist on the source branch (added and context lines).

Use variables in any part of your Pipelines .yaml

In the past, variables in Bitbucket Pipelines were scoped to only operate within script sections of a Pipelines workflow. This limited their usefulness and restricted users from being able to fully parameterize their workflows.

Today we are releasing an enhancement that will allow variables to be used within any section of a Pipelines .yaml file, and not just within scripts. This new capability will allow you to use variables to parameterize things like cache keys, artifact names, build images, and anything else you might need. For more detailed information, check out the Variables and secrets help document.

New Jira banner in Bitbucket

Bitbucket and Jira work better when you use them together. If you use Jira, you can see all of your tasks directly in Bitbucket. That means you can see more, prioritize better, do less tool hopping, and ultimately save time.

We've added a banner to the Bitbucket 'your work' page to show people how this integration can work.

The banner will only be shown to Workspace Admins who don't already have Jira. It will disappear once they add Jira, or when they dismiss it using the dots menu in the top right side of the banner.

Access media assets securely with IP allowlist restrictions

Record and share Loom videos in the details of your focus area

In the About section of your focus area, you can quickly record a Loom video that digs deeper into the details and adds that personal touch. If you already recorded one, you can also include that link.

Loom videos can also be recorded when crafting an update that shares progress with your followers. Links to previously recorded Loom videos can be added there too.

Give groups of people the right access

Groups are a great way to reduce the work needed to manage permissions and restrictions. The groups created and managed in admin.atlassian.com are used by Focus app admins to give users in those groups certain abilities. This flexibility and control support stronger data governance and drive accountability.

The actions that can be granted or removed from groups include the following:

• Create and edit focus areas
• Build out the relationships of those areas to one another
• Connect goals, work items, and positions to a focus area
• See sensitive financial data like funds
• Archive or delete focus areas
• Export focus area data
• Export or delete views

If you are a Focus app admin, you access group permissions by selecting the Settings > Focus admin settings at the top right of the app.

Navigation: App shortcuts migrated to platform component

App shortcuts in the sidebar now use a shared platform component, replacing previously product-specific implementations. There is no change to the user experience, but this update aims to streamline navigation across Atlassian products, improve app discoverability, and support future customization.

Expand all work items from sub-focus areas

When you are looking for work items that roll up to a focus area, you can drill down into the detailed information on the Work tab of that focus area. The table shows you the work items that were added to that focus area and all the work items in its sub-focus areas. Depending on the number of sub-focus areas and work items, you might need to expand several sections to see them all.

To make this easier, a toggle was added to the table's More actions (•••) menu to always expand the work items. This choice is made per focus area and requires that the Show work from sub-focus areas toggle is also turned on.

See the type of your work items

The work that you add to a focus area can come from different Atlassian apps, and those work items can be a mix of types, like an epic, a project, or a theme. Rather than relying on icons to communicate the type of work, a column is dedicated to showing you the name of the type.

When you see the list of work items on the Work tab of a focus area, the Type column is shown by default. If you find the type information less valuable and would like more horizontal real estate, you can turn off the column by selecting Customize at the top of the table and toggling off the Type column.

Teams information now visible in Talent alongside positions

See and filter positions by functional teams—powered by your HRIS connector—for clearer workforce insights.

Ensure both Teams and Talent apps use the same HRIS connector (e.g., Workday). Once the HRIS connector is synced from Talent and enabled in the Teams app, teams will appear as a column in the positions table, and you can filter and view team details directly from Talent.
