What can we learn?
While you can expect less drama than in an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, keeping up with the Atlassians is certainly a challenge. In a previous article, I shared a screenshot of the App updates page, which is a helpful list of planned, scheduled, and recently launched features and fixes. This admin page was likely rolled out a long time ago, but with so many changes to keep up with, I only just discovered it! That’s why I recommend periodically clicking through all the application admin pages and admin.atlassian.com pages, to see what’s new or different. (Sounds like it’s time for me to follow my own advice and hunt for changes again!)
This App updates page is great, but its only available to organization admins. So, how do non-admins keep up with changes? Here’s a list of all the available solutions, so you can stay “in the know”. And as a bonus: there’s a new release notes hub coming soon! If I missed any helpful locations, please add them in the comments section below.
