Deprecation of Old Work Item Search Experience in Jira

[#1]

Hello Atlassian Community,

Last year, we introduced a new work item search experience, known as the ‘new issue search’. We will soon be phasing out the old work item search experience.

Why the Change?

The new work item search is modern, faster, and easier-to-use. It’ll enhance performance and your Jira navigation experience. Key benefits are outlined in our previous community post and include:

• Faster Performance: Quicker load times and less delay.

• Better User Experience: A more intuitive interface.

• New Features: Access to advanced tools for managing work items that the old navigator didn’t have.

What should I expect?

Nothing changes if you already use the new search experience.

If you still use the old search experience, here’s what you can expect:

• Starting from September 2025 we’re removing ‘Go back to the old issue search’.

• In November 2025 your work item search will be changed to the new search.

If you haven’t already, we encourage you to try the new experience. Our support team is ready to answer any questions as you become familiar with it.

Feedback

We want to hear your thoughts on the new work item search experience. You can provide feedback by commenting here or in our recent community post.

Thank you for your support as we work to improve Jira for everyone.

Best regards,
The Jira Team
