Hi everyone,
As you explore the new navigation, we're interested in learning about your usage patterns and preferences to enhance your experience. Since this is an experimental phase, we're rolling out a limited set of features, and there may be bugs or unintended behavior. Here are more details about these bugs or issues.
Question | Response/Answer |
Where can I find Project settings? | We’ve disabled Project settings for this experiment. Disable the Chrome extension to access Project settings for your project. You can toggle the extension on/off at your convenience. |
Why can’t I create a project using the icon next to Projects?
|
Selecting the icon next to Projects leads you to a page where you can see the list of all projects in the Jira instance. While the sidebar shows you a limited number of projects, this dedicated page lets you explore the list of existing projects and then create a new project. |
Why can’t I resize the side navigation?
|
We’re working on fixing the side navigation and it might not work too well for you. Instead, we recommend that you use the Expand/Collapse button () on the top right of the sidebar. |
Does the extension work on any other browsers like Brave? |
The extension is available to use in Chrome browsers only, and we don’t support other browsers. If you’ve found a way to make it work, we’d love to know more. So please share your experience with us. |
Will the Chrome extension alter the use of Jira and its UI? |
The extension will alter the Jira UI to show the same navigation options but in a different way. |
Why can I still see the current navigation before the new navigation loads, especially when navigating to new pages? |
This is a known bug and is expected. Please wait a bit for the new navigation to load.
|
Can I see single and multiple pages for App menus in the new navigation via the Chrome extension? |
The new navigation via Chrome extension doesn't support the display of the menu items for Apps. |
Will the Chrome extension interact with the Jira instance via API? |
The extension has to make API calls but will not change the state of the Jira page. |
Why can't I access Calendars and Plans? |
Not all menu items under Plans might be available in the extension for experiment. Also, newly created Plans aren't available in Recents. You can access newly created Plans by selecting View all plans. |
Why aren’t my custom colors for navigation displaying correctly on the Jira instance? |
For this experiment, we only support the default color scheme in Jira. We’re still exploring custom colors for navigation. You can reach out to your Jira admin to change the color scheme of your instance. If you’re an admin, you can go to Settings > System > Look and feel > Navigation colors and select Revert. |

You can always toggle the extension on for other projects in Jira Software, Jira Work Management, and Jira Service Management. |
We’ll keep adding more to the list of identified issues/bugs, so please watch this page.
