Can i combine any add-ons with jira core?

Question

Can you use any add-ons with JIRA core? My Operations team is trialing using JIRA Core for project management. However, I am also a user of JIRA Software (for working with our Eng team) and I believe the most useful way for us to organize our issues is in a 'Board' layout (i.e., aligning issues under their current workflow status , so that it's easy to visualize # issues and what they are in each step). Is there any way to create a similar organizational experience using the new JIRA core? Thanks.

JIRA Core doesn't have "boards", and there's no easy way to get close to that view in Core.  But there's nothing to stop your Operations team using JIRA Software's boards.

JIRA Core supports plenty of addons, and more every day as add-on vendors update their software so that it is compatible with JIRA 7.  Note that the list of "type 2" add-ons is limited - you can only use a short list (Activated in your my.Atlassian account), but you can find/write and add any "Connect" add-ons you want.
