It's that time of year - you know, the time when spring loudly announces its arrival in some parts of the world. I grew up in the midwest United States, on a farm near a marsh, where lots of these little cuties live: Yes, that's a frog know as the Spring Peeper and when there are hundreds of them going at their evening…

This article is for a critical security vulnerability that exists in Confluence Server and Confluence Data Center. We recommend that you upgrade to a fixed version as soon as possible to ensure that you are not affected. If you are unable to upgrade Confluence immediately, then apply the temporary workaround as mentioned…

Hi Early Access crew! While Team Central is easy to use once you get going, you might find an empty site to be a bit daunting. Let's talk about what you can do to get started! The structure Team Central has two objects: Goals and Projects. You might think of these in Jira terms of Epics and Issues right away, but keep in…

Getting enough sleep this last year has been difficult as the lines between work and home blur... For some folks, the commute is less than a meter! In my case, I've had to work at cutting down the amount of time I'm on my phone while I could (or should) be sleeping. Switching to physical books only in bed has helped. A…

Benefits of linking to Team Central Many teams have a Confluence page to show what their team is working on. If you're using Jira, you might be familiar with the Jira issue macro or Smart Links. Just pasting a link to a Jira issue on a Confluence page allows you to see the issue's name and its current status. Team Central…

This is around the time of year I'd expect to be doing our stretch of Adopt-a-Creek with Keep Austin Beautiful. We typically have a team go out and clean up a 5 block stretch of Waller Creek, but I don't think that's in the cards this year. What are some other volunteer activities you know of locally that can be done…

It's been a year since we all shifted to doing everything completely online. I'm curious to know - what's been the most memorable part of attending an Atlassian Community Event for you? Online or offline!

For many of us, it's about a year into working from home. I'm seeing recollections of what everything felt like this time last year, photos from people's "last trip out", etc. I also recently saw an article here on Community about the "Stay Home Challenge" . That all got me thinking. It's been quite a shift, but definitely…

It's no secret that JQL is one of the most powerful ways to search Jira. The flexibility it provides in slicing and dicing issue data is great! One of my most useful queries involved travel data. When Atlassians visit other Atlassian offices (pre-COVID of course), they fill out a Jira issue that lets the office they're…

Someone said in a conversation recently, "we've all made a really big mistake at work at some point in our careers." It's true - I can definitely point at a time or two where things felt like they were on fire because of some action I took personally. (System administrators - delete anything in prod before?) Our "mistake"…

With meetings going remote these days and unbounded creativity with virtual backgrounds, expressing your creativity in the analogue world is cool! Not everyone has their dream setup (I'm working in a garage) but the small things can really brighten up your workspace. If you've got legos and a shelf behind you, what can you…

📎 You've attached an Excel file to a Trello card. Great! What now? If you're done looking at the preview for that file and maybe want to make some changes, it's time to download the file. Once upon a time there was a download button next to the attachment. But with browsers (most notably Chrome) changing the way download…

Atlassian announced two separate security advisories for Jira Server and Data Center products on September 18, 2019. This article is designed to help you determine which advisory may apply to you and how to ask for help here on Community. The TLDR (too long, didn't read) We recommend upgrading your Jira Server/Data Center…
