New Navigation Rollout Dates Released

[#1]

@Varsha Patel from Atlassian posted this in the Jira forum yesterday (2024-03-16):

• Jira’s fresh look and navigation 

Since most people here are familiar with the new nav, I'll just excerpt the details on the new rollout dates that she included, since I think many are following this group and looking for this information.

What to expect?

With strong adoption and positive feedback for the EAP and Beta phases, we’re accelerating our rollout strategy to efficiently bring the new navigation to all customers. Starting March 17, 2025, we’ll begin a phased rollout over the next few months for Standard, Premium, and Enterprise editions.

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

Note: The timelines are subject to change, and we’ll provide more details as the dates approach. Keep an eye on this page and check the public roadmap for the latest updates and more information on the new navigation.

Cohort	Timeline	Details
EAP and Beta participants	Ongoing	If you enrolled your site for new navigation during the EAP/Beta phase, the rollout process doesn’t impact you as we’ll not be disabling it for you and your users. You and users can continue the new navigation. We’ll remove the option to turn off the new navigation and enable the new navigation for all users on the site by mid-April 2025.
5% of sites on the Standard edition	17 March 2025	We’ll start the new navigation rollout for 5% of sites on the Standard edition. The sites are chosen randomly and your admins are notified about the changes to the products.
Free edition	17 March 2025	We’ll transition sites on the Free edition to the new navigation. Admins and users won’t be able to turn off the new navigation.
All sites for all editions have optional opt-in	Mid-April 2025	If you’re an admin of a site, you can turn on the new navigation: For just yourself For everyone on the site
Standard edition	Early to late April 2025	We’ll begin rolling out the new navigation to sites on the Standard edition in early April 2025. If you’re an admin, we’ll remove the option to turn off the new navigation and enable the new navigation for all users on the site. Your users can still turn off the new navigation only for themselves till the end of May 2025. This will not affect anyone else on the site.
Premium edition	Early to mid-May 2025	We’ll begin rolling out the new navigation to sites on the Premium edition in early May 2025. If you’re an admin, we’ll remove the option to turn off the new navigation and enable the new navigation for all users on the site. Your users can still turn off the new navigation only for themselves till mid-June 2025. This will not affect anyone else on the site.
Enterprise edition	Early to late June 2025	We’ll begin rolling out the new navigation to sites on the Enterprise edition in early June 2025. If you’re an admin, we’ll remove the option to turn off the new navigation and enable the new navigation for all users on the site. Your users can still turn off the new navigation only for themselves till July 2025. This will not affect anyone else on the site.
100% rollout	July 2025	All users of all editions are on the new navigation.

Thanks for reposting @Darryl Lee ! I would've missed it otherwise.

Seems like they moved up the timeline; we're on Premium and were anticipating June/July '25 from the recent Nav webinar

Hi @Darryl Lee ,

Could you also clarify the other question most people have about having mixed licenses? 

For example Jira Premium with Confluence Standard, which date would it follow? 

Thanks!

[Darryl Lee]

Oh man @ヴァリエンテ フロリアン_Florian Valiente_ I wish I knew!

To make it clear, I DO NOT WORK FOR ATLASSIAN.

Re: Mixed subscriptions, I would follow these questions:

• Mixed subscriptions - When will new nav come? 
• New Navigation Rollout: What Happens with Mixed Versions? 

Hopefully some actual Atlassian employees will be able to answer those questions.

[Varsha Patel]

Thank you @Darryl Lee for answering the questions. But we've now posted the article on this group as well.

[Varsha Patel]

@ヴァリエンテ フロリアン_Florian Valiente_ We've added mixed subscriptions to the list of FAQs. But I'll reply here as well:

To maintain consistency across products, you’ll get the new navigation based on the product that has the highest edition.

For example, if your site has Jira on a Premium edition and Confluence on a Standard edition, then both products will get the new navigation according to the Premium edition’s timelines, i.e., mid-May 2025.

Hope this helps!

@Varsha Patel 

Thanks for clearing that up!! As well as clarifying until when users can turn on/off the new navigation. Very helpful as that was one of the most asked questions in my org.

@Darryl Lee 

oops! sorry about the mix-up! I saw Atlassian in the profile, but didn't realise that was your title, and not the company! :D
