How to change the story points setting to original estimate

We have more than one instance of Jira here at our company. In one instance, I followed the step-by-step guide to change the configuration by going straight to the board configuration and it worked.

But when I tried the same process in another instance, the "Estimate" option is not showing in the side menu. How should I proceed?

 

Below is the image of when I try to go to Board Settings.

Hello @Web Mobile 

The board you are looking at appears to be for a Team Managed project. You can confirm that by looking at the bottom of the panel on the left for a message like this:

There are Team Managed projects and there are Company Managed projects. The configuration for these two types of projects and the boards is managed differently.

For general information on the differences between these types of projects refer to:

You can find information about managing Team Managed projects and their boards here:

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/enable-agile-features-in-team-managed-projects/

To change the Estimation setting for a Team Managed project/board, you need to instead go to Project Settings > Features, and look for the Estimation option there.
