Explore Atlassian Home’s new navigation

[#1]

Many of you have been asking when you can adopt Atlassian’s new navigation—now you can! We’re thrilled to announce its General Availability (GA) for Jira, Jira Service Management, Jira Product Discovery, Confluence, and Atlassian Home. In this article, you’ll find key details about what’s changing in Atlassian Home and when those changes will occur.

What’s changing in Atlassian Home?

The new navigation is:

• Designed to be fast and intuitive, allowing users to seamlessly navigate across our platform experiences to connect the dots across their teams and apps and work in one place.

• Consistent and cohesive where the information presented and navigation across all products are familiar, creating a seamless experience across the Atlassian platform.

Key features

Find everything you need in the sidebar	Stay updated and track the progress of your Projects and Goals from the sidebar with Status updates.
Stay connected with Apps	Explore all apps that are connected to your Atlassian Home workspace.
Customize your sidebar	Keep the focus on what matters to you by customizing your Home navigation.
Collapsible and resizable sidebar	If the sidebar takes up too much space, you can either resize or collapse it. You’ll always be able to expand the sidebar when you need to navigate again.

What to expect?

Over the next few months, we’ll progressively roll out the new navigation to all Atlassian Home users, along with Jira and Confluence.

See the table below to know when you can expect the new navigation for your sites.

Note: Your site will get the new navigation on Atlassian Home according to your site’s Jira subscription.

We had the new navigation on for a bit and it went away. Is there documentation somewhere on enabling (and disabling)? I gather it is still in the works, but wanted to ask anyways. Thank you Atlassian! Always love the newness and features.

[Brian Mertens]

Can we enable the new navigation in a Sandbox environment without enabling it in Production?

[Varsha Patel]

@Brian Mertens Yes, admins can self-serve and turn on the new navigation for Sandbox environments on April 14, 2025. 

[Varsha Patel]

@Miriam Hopton We experienced a brief technical issue on March 20, 2025. For approximately 45 minutes, the new navigation was unintentionally enabled for some users, which wasn’t part of our planned rollout schedule. The issue was quickly resolved and we’ve put controls in place to prevent an event like this in the future.

You can choose to turn on the new navigation on April 14,2025 as we're enabling optional opt-in for all sites. If you choose to not enable it, then depending on the plan you're on, your site will get the new navigation. Please refer to the table above to see when your site will get the new navigation. 

To turn on/off the new navigation:

1. From the top right corner, select Settings > Personal settings.

2. You can toggle the switch on/off for Navigation.

3. Refresh the page.

Good morning @Varsha Patel !

Thank you for replying and appreciate your help + direction. I will make note of the date of go-live next week. Exciting stuff.

So the settings will be per user (new navigation)? Is that something I can set globally for all users? Per the table, looks like I will be able to! As I would like to update all documentation for users with the new navigation experience. Looking forward to this!

We are on Jira Cloud (and love it!).

This is a great page and document - amazing job, Atlassian!!

Last info in the table states:

• 100% rollout
• End of July 2025
• All users of all plans are on the new navigation with no ability to turn it off.

So, according to this, org-admins will not have the option to turn the new navigation off per site or per user. It will only be available during the transition period. Do I understand correctly?

[Varsha Patel]

@Ales Janzekovic 

By the end of July 2025, admins or users won't have the ability to turn off the new navigation. 

Additionally, as per your site's plan, we'll be disabling the option to turn off the new navigation. 

For example, if your site is on a Standard plan, then we'll remove the option for admins to turn off the new navigation for their sites in mid-April to mid-May 2025. We'll remove the option for users to turn off their navigation by the end of May 2025.  

[Varsha Patel]

@Miriam Hopton Admins have the ability to turn on the new navigation for all users, i.e., globally for all users on the site (the steps listed above).

Once an admin turns on the new navigation for all users on the site, user have the option to turn on/off the new navigation only for themselves.

We're working on creating official enablement materials. We'll keep your updated when this is available. 

[Miriam Hopton]

Thank you so much, Varsha. I appreciate you comment and will look out for the materials (they are always so helpful!).
