Big day for the backlog!

[#1]

Hiya, Jake here with an exciting update. As of today, Jira Align administrators can decide to hide accepted features in the backlog. We are thrilled about this launch!

With this setting on, users can rank and review work in their backlogs without being burdened by work already accepted. You can truly use the backlog to see what’s up next. Your backlog will also be more performant now that we’re loading less items. We've also implemented a performance fix to improve the load time of the kanban column view by introducing infinite scroll pagination.

This is a big win for usability, for performance, but also for our ongoing work to prioritize your feedback. With this launch, we closed the most voted on JAC suggestion in all of Jira Align.

We know the work does not end here, which is why we opened up three new suggestions to bring this enhancement to themes, epics, and capabilities in the future. Please vote on these if you’d like to see us bring these improvements to those levels.

For more information about how administrators can turn on this setting, check out our release notes and our help documentation!
