[#1]

Hi everyone! 

Sharing a recap of the feature releases from January that Atlassian for Nonprofits thinks is most relevant for nonprofits and social enterprises.

As always feel free to comment any others that you feel should be flagged for everyone!

To learn about new Atlassian changes to your specific apps go to App updates in admin.atlassian.com for any admins who have access. Detailed instructions here.

Admin

Monitor app, user, and Bitbucket usage in your organization - ROLLING OUT

We’ve made it easier to monitor how your organization uses various apps. The Platform usage page now displays app icons to represent app usage. Additionally, the Usage type details page includes a monthly average summary tile on each usage type as well as usage tabs that highlight the apps and users driving consumption for specific usage types. We’ve also included three new Bitbucket usage types - Package storage, Network traffic, and Runners - to give you deeper insights to how Bitbucket is used in your organization.

To monitor your organization’s usage:

1. Go to Atlassian Administration. Select your organization if you have more than one.

2. Select Overview to view usage across your apps..

3. Select Insights > Platform usage to track Rovo credits and other usage types. Here, you’ll find your Bitbucket usage.

Jira

Seamless Loom recording integration - ROLLING OUT

This update introduces further integration between Jira and Loom. Users can now record using the Loom recorder right from their Jira work items, and Rovo will take care of updating the work item description based on the context shared in the video.

JSM

Assets is now a standalone platform app - ROLLING OUT

To ensure we give our customers a seamless and secure experience, we're moving Assets from Jira Service Management as its own platform app in Atlassian Administration. Here, you can assign specific roles to people as well as manage billing and data residency. Existing permissions and access will be automatically migrated to minimize any disruptions.

JPD

Add global fields from any view - ROLLING OUT

Adding global fields to your Jira Product Discovery spaces is now faster and more intuitive. You can add global fields directly from any view to achieve consistency across spaces and reduce setup time. When creating new space fields, you can see suggestions for existing global fields you can reuse.

To add a global field:

1. In your Jira Product Discovery space, go to any view.

2. In the right sidebar, select Fields > Add a global field.

3. Select Discovery fields or Jira fields, or search by a field name to filter results.

4. Select one or multiple fields from the list.

5. (Optional) Select any field to preview its details before adding.

Confluence

Distinguish between an active and archived space

We've made distinguishing between an active and archived space clearer. Archived spaces will now appear in the dropdown menu, making it easier to navigate between spaces.

Rovo

New banner to help you download the Rovo Extension from chat - ROLLING OUT

Rovo now shows a banner above the chat input, in both the sidebar and full page chat, that let's you to download the Rovo extension if you don’t already have it, so you can start using Rovo from anywhere.

To see and use the new banner:

1. Open Rovo chat in either the side panel or full page view.

2. Send at least one message.

3. Look for the banner above the chat input box.

4. Select the call-to-action button on the banner to install the Rovo extension, or dismiss the banner.
