Community release notes for September 2, 2025

[#1]

We’ve got just one update this week—but it’s a fantastic one! Peer Recognition is back in your Unified Profile, making it easier than ever to celebrate fellow Community members.

Profile:

New: Ability to send Peer Recognition to others via the Unified Profile.

By popular demand, we have reintroduced the ability to send Peer Recognition on profiles, previously known as sending Peer Kudos on the former Forums profile.

Follow these steps to send recognition:

1. Visit another Community member’s profile

2. Click on “Give [name] recognition” above the Kudos section. 

3. Select the recognition reason and click “Give recognition”. 

4. Celebrate spreading the love across the Community.

Improvements:

• Clear guidance on the number of available recognitions (e.g., 1 left this week).

• If you have sent all recognitions for the current period, the date for sending more will now be visible. 

FAQ:

• Q: What if I send or receive recognition on a linked account?

  • A: The recognition will go to the most active kudos account among the linked accounts.

If you have any questions, thoughts, or suggestions for the team, please drop them in the comments!

If only you spent as much time fixing the 'new interface' rather than this silly bit of fluff

Hey there @SilkeS ,

Love that the gamification system in the Community is getting even better!!

Suggestion: User Profiles show how many Kudos were received, but not who sent them - have we considered showing this information?

Thank you!  =]

Hi @Thiago P _Atlassian Support_ ,

Thank you for your feedback! I’ll be sure to pass this idea along to our gamification team for their consideration.
