Confluence Updates
A smarter way to manage and view Confluence content
We updated the Pages experience in Jira to make managing Confluence content smarter and more modern. You can now search, filter, and sort your connected content directly within Jira, and we added support for whiteboards and folders. These improvements help you find the right information faster and collaborate more effectively across your apps.
Go to your Jira Software or Jira Work Management space.
Select the Docs tab (previously named Pages) from the sidebar.
Connect to a Confluence space or view your existing connected content. (Note: Only one Space can be connected at one time)
Use the new search bar, filter, and sort options to organize your pages, whiteboards, and folders.
Select a page or live page to open it in the new preview panel without leaving your Jira space.
Create and edit UML diagrams in your whiteboard
You can now create and edit Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams directly in your whiteboard. Access a full library of UML shapes, add multiple labels to connector lines, position labels anywhere along a path, and use arrowheads to show relationships between shapes. These features are available for Premium and Enterprise customers.
To create a UML diagram in your whiteboard:
Select the Shape icon from the main toolbar then More shapes to find the UML category.
Drag shapes into your whiteboard to start creating UML diagrams.
To show relationships, use the floating toolbar to add arrowheads.
Reactions are now always visible on every comment
We've redesigned the comment experience so the option to add a reaction is always visible on every comment. This makes it easier to add your reaction and engage on feedback and discussions with your team.
Preview content in a side panel
You can now view content from other Atlassian apps in a side panel without leaving your current page in Confluence. This change allows you to quickly glance at related information, cross-reference content, and take actions while staying in your workflow.
To get started with this change:
Go to a Confluence page that contains a smart link for a goal, project, team, Jira work item, or another Confluence page.
Hover over the link to reveal the toolbar.
Select the Preview button on the left side of the toolbar.
View the content in the side panel that opens on the right.
Jira Updates
Project recap emails for non-engaged users
Jira now sends personalized project recap emails to people who have not recently engaged with their assigned work. These emails highlight specific items that need attention and make it easier to take action, helping teams stay connected and up to date.
Check your email inbox for project recap emails from Jira.
Review the highlighted work items and use the provided actions to respond or update issues directly from the email.
Revamped reports for work item analysis
Jira Cloud has updated three classic reports to improve date formatting and provide a more consistent experience. The Average Age, Created vs Resolved, and Recently Created Work Items reports now use the latest interface, resolving previous issues with how dates were displayed for different regions.
To get started with this change:
Go to your company-managed space in Jira.
Select Reports from the sidebar.
Choose Average Age, Created vs Resolved, or Recently Created Work Items.
Use the in-page dropdown menus to configure your report settings.
Select a board from the Board selector to filter the work items shown in the report.
Standups panel: Control buttons for participant shuffling and navigation
The standups panel now includes control buttons that let you shuffle active participants and navigate between participants using the next and previous buttons. This update helps teams run standups more efficiently.
To get started with this change:
Open a board in Jira that has the standups panel enabled.
Use the new control buttons in the standups panel to shuffle active participants or move to the next or previous person.

Improved commit message for Git commands in software projects
We've updated the Git commit message to include the work item summary, making it easier to create commits without manually adding work item details.
To use the updated commit message:
Go to your Jira software project.
Open a work item.
In the development field, select Create commit.
Select Copy to copy the updated Git command, which now includes the work item summary.
Plans - New icon for saving views in Plans
We've refreshed the icon displayed when saving a view, making it easier to work with saved views in Plans.
Collapse sections in a work item
You can now collapse sections in a work item to reduce scrolling and highlight key information.
To collapse sections in a work item:
Open a work item in Jira.
Find the section you want to collapse, such as Subtasks or Activity.
Select the arrow next to the section header to expand or collapse the section.
List View - Drag to re-order work items in the list view
The new list view (previously 'All work' in Jira) can now be sorted manually with drag-and-drop.
This update lets you drag-and-drop to reorder items in the list, making it easier to prioritize and organize work.
You can still sort by any field; drag-and-drop will be temporarily disabled while sorting is applied. To return to manual ordering, you can either clear your applied sorting or clear your filters to re-enable drag-and-drop and move work items up or down the list.
To get started with this change:
Navigate to the List view.
Use drag-and-drop to reorder work items. If sorting is not by rank, follow the prompt to clear sorting and enable reordering.
Use the Clear all option in the filter panel to reset sorting to rank.
When creating a new work item, follow the prompt to clear sorting if you want to reorder items.
Supporting more fields when inline editing child work items
You can inline edit more fields in a child work item, saving you time from opening them separately when making changes.
To make an inline edit to a field:
Open a work item that has child work items.
From the child work items panel, select and edit any fields.
Select Enter to save your edits.
Note: Click on the Column Icon to add additional fields to edit directly from the Child Work Items section.
