@Diane Logsdon Yeah, I can't remember where I read that Nav was coming to Jira first, but I recently saw this announcement in the Confluence forums, so I guess they're trying to do it all at once? (Just in time for the conference!?)
I 100% agree that I would prefer to let users OPT-IN to the new change on their timeline (still with a hard cutover date) rather than it being forced upon them and then having to navigate to OPT-OUT.
Just got the new UI and it is horrible. One of the worst UX updates from Atlassian in the 12 years I have been using them full-time. Already gave LOTS of feedback, so won't repeat it here. This is just for sentiment analysis.
I also am not seeing a way to enable the navigation, same screenshots as the above poster. Checked sandbox and production environments and am not seeing it.
Same here like Emma and Jacob above. I am in the Jira settings and do not see the option to turn on the experience there. However, I see it in Confluence (which is in a separate app as we know).
hi @Darryl Lee , im in the production, on standard Confluence. If you go to Administration / Configuration / New features / the two features of Live docs and New content layout is available to turn on:
I'm waiting for the Jira feature to be visible before turning on Confluence so its across the board.
What's weird that they didn't ALSO give it to your Jira because what they wrote seems to imply that you'd get it at the same time, "to maintain consistency across products".
I feel like at this point the best advice (and to any of y'all out there), is to file a Support ticket and ask WTF with Nav? In fact, I'm guessing there's been a big spike of those recently.
Our organization has a Premium license. I am NOT seeing the option to enable the new navigation in the Sandbox but I AM seeing it in Production environment. Perhaps someone at Atlassian enabled production by mistake or forgot to enable in the Sandbox. Not sure, but for those not finding the feature in Sandbox per the instructions/guides, try looking in your production environment.
Yikes, thanks for the morning scare, @Diane Logsdon ! Ok, so I don'tthe new nav on my Production Premium instance (and I'm sure my users would've been screaming about it on Slack if that was the case), but I do see this new banner on my Sandbox. Finally!
I logged in this morning into the Jira production environment and had a banner, just like Darryl, including the same button in his screenshot to "Turn on for everyone". Whoo hoo!
We have a test account that is not an admin, and that person did not see the banner nor the button to turn it on. So thats good to know, only admins see the banner and button if you do not enable it now.
I am writing up documentation on the newness and will turn it on today. Love the documentation Atlassian has had for the newness - helped so much!
I did notice, when you enable for all & a site admin, you have to toggle the feature for yourself to see the new look. I was not seeing the new navigation after selecting "turn on for everyone" and when I selected the little toggle to turn on for myself, refreshed, I saw the new UI on my log in. Just heads up, fellow admins!
I am also suggesting for people to reference the documentation (thanks Atlassian!) and also using the little helpful button on the lower left of the screen to provide feedback:
Is there a way for admins to customize the project navigation for all projects? My company uses mostly company managed project and to do individually do this on every project will be too much.
I turned this on for myself and another admin did the same. She had feedback that the font was difficult to see. I agree when in Light mode I had an issue and switched to Dark mode. She is having difficulty with the font in both modes. I do not see a way to make an update to the font. Will this be an option later? Thank you.

@Varsha Patel we are trying (as a vendor) update our ADS components Figma library but it is no so easy without information what preciseley was changed. Could you share updated libraries with us? Or just prepare some materials helpful for completing this process?

@Aline Veyradier What you're looking at is a Board, and not a project. So you're seeing Board settings. From the sidebar, select the project instead. You should be able to see the menu from the project header.
Unable to select a software project from the sidebar : when I click on the project label, it only expands the list of project boards, which I can select.
After testing in our tenent, the process you describe applies only to business projects.
@Aline Veyradier "Test BP Scrum" is your project, right? You have created at least two boards: "TBPS Scrumboard" and "Kanban TBPS". When you click on one of them, you are opening that board within the project view. So your current tab is the board and all the other tabs belong to the project. So you open board AND project with one click.
(imho that's bad design - and therefore confusing - because so all the project tabs are shown in two different locations. It should be the other way around: one project with tabs for each board. But I guess Atlassian wanted to provide direct links to each board on the sidebar)
