📖 3–4 min read · 🎬 1–2 min video A few years ago, I didn't even know what Atlassian was. Today, I'm one step away from putting its logo on my house—because behind everything from home projects and finances to travel, festivals, and everyday life, there's probably a Jira work item, Confluence page, or Trello board keeping…

Currently, clicking an image inside a Forum post opens the image itself in a new browser tab. It would be much smoother if images opened in an in-page preview/lightbox panel instead, similar to how images are commonly previewed in other Atlassian experiences. Ideally, the preview could support: viewing the image at a…

When adding images to a Forums article, there doesn't seem to be an option to add a caption directly beneath them. (There is, however, an option to add alt/accessibility text) It would be useful to have an optional caption field for images, similar to what we already have in Confluence. Ideally, this could also work for…

A small quality-of-life improvement for the Forums editor. 🙂 Currently, text alignment is available within tables, but not for regular paragraphs or other content outside tables. It would be useful to support left, center and right alignment directly in the editor, especially when preparing longer articles with images,…

My first question for this challenge was actually: which page should I remix? 😄 I used ChatGPT with the Atlassian MCP to look through our Confluence for pages that could use a visual refresh, without including client information. One of the suggestions was our Educational tasks page—and it turned out to be a great fit. At…

I've noticed an increasing number of replies that seem heavily AI-generated, often repetitive, generic, or completely missing the context of the original question and existing answers. Some accounts are posting an almost inhuman number of replies daily. I'm not sure whether AI agents, MCP integrations, or other automation…

Not sure if you guys have something like this, but well 🙂 Following the migration from Khoros to HLV, some older discussions appear to have remained open, allowing users to revive threads dating back to 2020 or earlier. Or just spam those 🫤 I've noticed several instances of users repeatedly commenting on old Q&A threads,…

Quite simple (and quick) 'fix' 😄 — can you update Sourcetree logo in the Q&A list? New logo: Logo is available in Mosaic/Orange Logic.

Currently, when adding a Loom video link to a post, it is displayed only as a link card. 🔗 The card also appears to use a generic Loom preview/thumbnail rather than the actual thumbnail from the video. By comparison, YouTube links can be embedded directly into the post and played without leaving the Forums page. It would…

Have you ever tried contacting Atlassian's Billing & Licensing Support team, only to find yourself going through help articles, AI-generated suggestions, and forms without an obvious Submit button? Well, you're definitely not the only one! 😅 I've come across quite a few questions in the Atlassian Community about refunds,…

Here's another small quality-of-life improvement 😄 When writing longer articles, discussions, or replies, the formatting toolbar disappears as you scroll down. This means you have to scroll back up whenever you want to change text styles, insert links, add expand blocks, etc. Suggestion: Make the formatting toolbar sticky…

Some Atlassian Learning challenges remain under To Do in the Kudos panel even though the corresponding learning path has already been completed. In my case, these challenges were introduced after I had already completed the learning paths, so it seems that the completion status was never synchronized back to Kudos. I’ve…

When submitting a new idea in the Forums Ideas & Feature Requests space, it would help if the platform automatically suggested similar existing ideas, like JSM does when creating requests through the portal. The idea As someone types the title or description of a new idea, the platform could display related suggestions…

Currently, it's possible to submit completely empty comments. Basically, you can open a page and immediately post an empty answer. 🤔 I'd suggest disabling the Leave a Comment button when the comment editor is empty (including whitespace-only content). This would prevent accidental submissions, unnecessary empty replies,…

Currently Champions can still comment on closed questions and discussions. However, the "Closed" label isn't particularly prominent, making it quite easy to overlook and accidentally leave a comment on a closed post. I'd suggest disabling the comment/answer option for everyone, including Champions, once a post has been…

I've noticed that when creating a new article, I have two identical "New Article" options in the dropdown. I assume this is because I'm both an Atlassian Champion and a Partner, as each option leads to a different URL: Community Article: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/post/article Partner Article:…

With Dia finally being released for Windows a couple of days ago 🥳, I've finally had a chance to try it out — and I already have a couple of questions! 😅 It would be cool to have Dia Browser Q&A or discussion group 🙃 It would also make it easier to find existing discussions rather than having Dia-related topics scattered…

With Compass being phased out, it could be useful to introduce a dedicated DX Q&A section in the Community. Maybe… 🤷 This could provide a natural home for questions around developer portals, software catalogs, engineering health, ownership, scorecards, and related DX practices — including topics that previously would have…

Spoiler content in Forum email notifications currently renders as a fairly plain box with “Spoiler Warning” inside. It would be nice if this styling were improved so spoilers are more visually polished and closer to how they appear in Forums, while still keeping the content hidden by default.

Currently, Recent Posts are sorted by Recently Commented by default. It would be useful if this could either: default to Recently Created, so newly published posts are surfaced first; be configurable as a user preference; or remember the user's last selected sort option and apply it consistently across relevant post lists.…

Currently, Forum notification emails include the full post/article content, while the link to the original post is located further down in the email. For longer posts, this means you may need to scroll through most of the email before you can open the original discussion/article in Forums. It would be helpful if the post…

Currently, both question creators and Champions can see the “Did this answer the question? Yes / No” controls. I’d suggest hiding these controls for their own answers when the logged-in user is not the original question creator, even if they are a Champion. The question author is usually in the best position to decide…

Currently, the only way to tell that you've already liked/voted for a post is by hovering over the number of likes/votes and checking the list of users. It would be great if this were also visually indicated directly on the post — for example, by highlighting the Like/Vote button in blue after you've clicked it, and…

Currently, when using the Quote option, most formatting from the original content is lost. For example, content containing: headings numbered or bulleted lists inline code / code formatting other rich text elements is converted into essentially plain text inside the quote. Basic formatting such as bold and italic appears…
