New Jira UI

Question

Hi guys, have some questions:

Have any functionalities that were previously on the top navigation bar been relocated or hidden in the new navigation? If so, which ones?

Will there be an option for users to stay on the old navigation, or will the transition to the new layout be mandatory for everyone?

We see that the rollout is planned for March. Do you have more details on the timeline? Will it happen in early or late March?

Will the rollout be done in phases, or will all users receive the change at the same time?

Are there any other major changes in the new navigation that we should be aware of to properly inform our users?

Thanks!

Hi @Trudy P Claspill , hope this message finds you well :)

Hello @Gabriel Belleboni

Your post tags indicate you are using a Free subscription. Is that accurate?

When Atlassian rolls out a change to the MANY customer sites they support it is often rolled out in phases rather than deployed to all sites simultaneously.

The New Navigation will be enabled at the Site level, so it will apply to all users of a site at the same time.

There are some problems that were noted during the Beta for New Navigation. Some of them are mentioned in the original post here:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Navigation-Refresh-articles/Recap-Atlassian-s-New-Navigation-Launch-and-key-product-team/ba-p/2894700

No information has been posted regarding if or when those will be addressed. Other issues may have been mentioned in separate posts in the communities.

The above article talks about options for disabling the New Navigation, but I don't know how long those will be available. They don't appear to be available on Free sites.

For more information on how the changes appear here are some resources:
