Activity view no longer on the right side of a work issue

Question

On Jun 18th, I had my work issues configured to show activities on the right panel instead of below the description. Today, my activities are now below the description and the toggle to set it to conversation view is gone. Where do I set this up? Why was the conversation view removed.

Just commenting on this to see if anyone has managed to resolve the issue.

I had the exact same thing, enabled the conversation view, which I found quite useful when going through work items, only to find it had been disabled with no option to bring it back, and the option to toggle between activity views completely removed.

Not accepting this answer. One is incorrect because the profile has no layout options. Two is incorrect because the JIRA updates don't say they changed anything. As a side note they also are woefully incorrect without enough info to take the steps recommended for any new features. For the third, my admins said they didn't change anything.

It sounds like Jira might’ve updated or changed the UI, removing the "Conversation View" option. Here's what you can do:

* Check Personal Settings: Go to your profile and check for any settings under Issue Layout or Activity Stream to switch it back.
* Recent Update: Jira might have removed or replaced that view in a recent update. Look at the release notes for details.
* Admin Settings: If you're in a team-managed project, your admin might have changed the layout. You can ask them to confirm.

Basically, it's likely an update or setting change that moved your activity stream below the description.
