Export issues from Jira Cloud Android and iOS

Atlassian has introduced the user interface component called glance to Jira Cloud and Jira Cloud mobile Android and iOS. It's a convenient way to read relevant issue information without cluttering your computer or mobile screen. Third-party apps have now been made available as glances in Jira Cloud mobile Android and iOS.

We worked together with Atlassian to make sure Better PDF Exporter for Jira Cloud and Better Excel Exporter for Jira Cloud works well as a glance on mobile screens. We are happy to tell you that you can now export issues to PDF on Jira Cloud mobile via the Better PDF Exporter Cloud glance!

Have you already tried to export an issue to PDF or Excel using the glance? Share your thoughts with us and other users of our apps or ask questions on our Slack channel!

What is glance in Jira Cloud?

The glance is a special screen element on the new Jira Cloud issue view. It appears on the right, alongside usual issue fields like the assignee, priority, or due date.

A glance can be clicked to open it up for more options. In its open state it can present relevant additional information about the currently viewed issue or offer ways to interact with installed third-party Jira apps. For example, you can log time with Tempo Timesheets or export the issue to PDF with Better PDF Exporter right from the glance. Or you can export issues with comments to Excel with Better Excel Exporter from the glance, too.
