Committing your plan changes

A plan is like a sandbox scenario, where you can safely try different options and potential outcomes before committing a set of changes to Jira. It prevents you from having to manually update the information. The number next to the plan name shows how many changes you've made. If you're not happy with the changes, you can always revert them in the commit dialog.

How to commit and revert changes

1. Modify your plan by creating, editing or deleting work items, teams or releases.
   Changes made in your scenario are indicated by orange markers.
   
   
2. Every time that you change something, a new number shows up in the bubble next to Uncommitted changes representing the number of changes you've made.
   
   

3. Click Uncommitted changes.
   A new window shows up displaying the list of changes you've made.

4. Click the issue title to open a detailed view of the changes.

5. To commit the selected changes click Commit selected changes.

The committed changes will now be visible from your Jira Software application.

Revert changes by selecting the desired changes and clicking Revert changes.
