Month Change is rolling out | Category | Summary | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
November | Shortcuts | New ways to navigate Jira with your keyboard | Open the command palette from anywhere in Jira by using:
|
November | Epic | The backlog's epic panel will now use an epic's Issue status category | We're making changes to epics on your board and backlog. As part of this work, we've changed how epics appear on the epic panel in your backlog. Previously, the epic panel would use an epic's Epic status value to determine if it was displayed. Now, the epic panel will instead respect the epic's Issue status category. |
November | Incidents | Find similar incidents | On an incident, we’ll now show some incidents from the past that are similar to the one you’re viewing, so you can use past information to investigate and resolve the incident faster. These results are AI-powered, so some results may not be relevant or helpful to you. To help improve results, you can give feedback by reacting 👍 or 👎 to a result. |
September | Sprints | Move sprints to the top of your backlog with a single click | Added the ability to move a sprint straight to the top or bottom of your backlog. This will save you some time (and a lot of clicks!) when planning work for your team. To try it out, go to your backlog, find the sprint you’d like to move, select more actions (…) then Move sprint to top. To move a sprint to the bottom instead, select Move sprint to bottom. |
