What happened to the custom bookmarks available in the application's main navigation?

[Paul Alexander]

From the waffle (6-slot square icon in the upper left of the app) in both Jira and Confluence, this navigation dialog once held custom web URLs that we could define. I see recently that our Cloud tenant does not expose these web links anymore. I cannot determine if this functionality is just gone or moved elsewhere...

Hello @Paul Alexander 

See my answer on this other post asking the same question.

Custom links were removed from the Navigator. There is already a change request to bring them back.

...classic...

Thanks:-(.

Here's the announcement in the communities about the change.

@Paul Alexander, 

We noticed this a couple of days ago as well. We can still navigate to the configuration page by manually entering in the URL, but nothing we put in there is actually working. I have also not been able to find anything about this change online, but I suspect that since our sidebar changed (new options were present), I suspect it was an intentional change.
