Hi everyone!

As always feel free to comment any others that you feel should be flagged for everyone!
To learn about new Atlassian changes to your specific apps go to App updates in admin.atlassian.com for any admins who have access. Detailed instructions here.
Admin
Monitor app, user, and Bitbucket usage in your organization - ROLLING OUT
We’ve made it easier to monitor how your organization uses various apps. The Platform usage page now displays app icons to represent app usage. Additionally, the Usage type details page includes a monthly average summary tile on each usage type as well as usage tabs that highlight the apps and users driving consumption for specific usage types. We’ve also included three new Bitbucket usage types - Package storage, Network traffic, and Runners - to give you deeper insights to how Bitbucket is used in your organization.
To monitor your organization’s usage:
-
Go to Atlassian Administration. Select your organization if you have more than one.
-
Select Overview to view usage across your apps..
-
Select Insights > Platform usage to track Rovo credits and other usage types. Here, you’ll find your Bitbucket usage.
Jira
Seamless Loom recording integration - ROLLING OUT
This update introduces further integration between Jira and Loom. Users can now record using the Loom recorder right from their Jira work items, and Rovo will take care of updating the work item description based on the context shared in the video.
JSM
Assets is now a standalone platform app - ROLLING OUT
To ensure we give our customers a seamless and secure experience, we're moving Assets from Jira Service Management as its own platform app in Atlassian Administration. Here, you can assign specific roles to people as well as manage billing and data residency. Existing permissions and access will be automatically migrated to minimize any disruptions.
