🚀 New improvements to the Atlassian products

Bring Training Directly to Jira 

Atlassian University has the solution with a new app, Training for Jira. This app integrates courses into the Jira Apps menu, allowing team members to train in directly in Jira context and you can gain insight into training progress

Formatting Table Cells in Confluence

From a floating toolbar You can easily access formatting options like changing cell background color, merging cells, and distributing columns.

Compass + Jira Service Management

With the links between Compass and JSM, you can access relevant information and data from both products, making it easier to diagnose and solve issues.

Command Palette for Jira

The command palette is a pop-up menu that gives you quick access to different commands and actions, like creating and updating fields in issues, searching for recent issues, or navigating projects. It's in Beta now so give it a try!

The toggle button for dark mode is being gradually rolled out to Trello boards. This feature not only allows you to personalize Trello but also comes with color palettes for both light and dark modes.
