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