nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Why doesn't my project board appear in my project sidebar?

Mercedes Martinson

The Boards dropdown (in the Project Sidebar) is no longer present. I am using a software project template. I even created a new project and that project doesn't have the Boards dropdown either. I also don't have the ability to create a board, unless I'm missing it.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

Hello @Mercedes Martinson

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Can you provide a screen image of what you are seeing? There have been changes to the Navigation UI that are being rolled out to Premium and Enterprise customers, and you may be experiencing a different UI because of that.

That's what I assumed, but then realized I don't have a way to create boards. I did just notice I can add through the plus sign here, but why don't I have that functionality on other projects? Is there a way to add it back? Screenshot 2025-07-17 131445.png

Hello @Mercedes Martinson

Regarding why you don't have the functionality in other projects, that would depend on the Project Type and your permissions within that project. You won't get that option for any type of Team Managed project, for any type of Service Management project, or any type of Business project. Project Type information can be found on the View All Projects page.

Can you provide an example?

You can still navigate to the Board List also to access the Create Board button.

Darn. That's it. It's a team managed project. Using this link to create and migrate: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/migrate-between-team-managed-and-company-managed-projects/ But open to any additional advice!
