• In October 2025, Jira projects will be renamed Jira spaces across all Jira Cloud products (including Jira Service Management and Jira Product Discovery).
• In April 2025, Atlassian changed the name of everything you track in Jira Cloud from issues to work or work items. The naming change is to support Jira Cloud as the place of work for all teams. This change does not apply to Jira Data Center and records in the database are still called issues.
• Third-party apps from the Atlassian Marketplace were once called add-ons and plugins. In April 2025, Atlassian shifted away from calling their tools products to also calling them apps.
• Between March 2025 and July 2025 Atlassian progressively rolled out a new navigation experience to all Cloud users. Read more
