New data management tools for the Jira Cloud family of apps
Announced alongside the new limits and guardrails, new cleanup tools make it easy for admins to remove unused fields and work types, helping to reduce clutter and boost performance across Jira, Jira Service Management, and Jira Product Discovery. Now available on all plans, these tools complement Site Optimizer by enabling every customer to quickly find and easily manage unused or outdated data:
Site Optimizer is now available for Jira Premium plans!
Site Optimizer is now available for Jira Cloud Enterprise and Premium customers, giving admins powerful insights into site health and easy tools to clean up unused spaces, work items, fields, and permissions. With these actionable insights, you can keep your Jira sites stable and high performing as your organization grows.
List and All Work views are combined into a single view in Jira
We’ve merged the List and All Work views in Jira into one unified experience for managing work items, simply called ‘List’. By combining the best principles from both views, it’s now easier for you to track work across all space types, with faster access to grouping, inline editing, hierarchy support, and more.
Enhanced Bulk Move API in Jira
The enhanced Bulk Move API enables teams to move multiple work items across different work types and spaces in a single request, reducing API calls and simplifying operations.
Previously, the API supported only simple, one-type-to-one-type moves. With this update, you can:
-
Move work items of different work types from multiple spaces into a single target
-
Assign standard work items to epics during the move
-
Preserve hierarchy in the process
Major performance boosts for large Jira Cloud sites
We’ve rolled out significant performance enhancements for our largest Jira Cloud customers (20,000+ users), delivering noticeably faster load times across key experiences. These gains come from deep architectural upgrades—including database optimizations, smarter caching, and modular field configuration—driven by a multi-quarter initiative from the Jira Scale team.
Large-scale Jira customers are seeing the biggest performance improvements in:
-
Backlog: up to 28.9% faster
-
Work items: up to 24.0% faster
-
Plans: up to 20.6% faster
Performance improvements to large Confluence environments
Doubling down on performance improvements, our largest Confluence Cloud customers (especially those working on large pages or complex tables) will now experience faster, smoother page loads! We’ve updated how we render tables to reduce layout shifts – helping pages load more predictably and perform better across the board.
These updates are already delivering impact across high-traffic Confluence experiences:
-
View page: initial loads are up to 15% faster, with the slowest 1% of loads improving by up to 28%
-
Space overview: initial loads are up to 8% faster, with the slowest 1% improving by up to 38%
That’s a wrap for the Q3 2025 Performance and Scale Digest. If you haven’t yet, be sure to register for Team ’25 Europe before October 7th for exclusive announcements and in-depth sessions. If you’re there in person, come say hello to us at the administration booth!
