Hi everyone, I iam trying to document a bug in Jira, but I can’t see the ‘Create’ button or the option to attach files (screenshots/videos). Here’s what I’ve tried:

Checked different projects – no ‘Create’ button visible.

Looked for the paperclip icon in descriptions – not there.

Refreshed/switched browsers (Chrome/Firefox) – same issue.

Questions:

Is this a permissions problem, or did Jira’s UI recently change?

Are there hidden settings or alternate ways to attach files?

Any help is appreciated (Using Jira Cloud, latest version.)

Hi,

the create button should be at the upper middle right of your screen with the new UI. If you can't see it I will guess that you have no permission to create issue in any project of your instance.

can you provide a screenshot ?

Hi @Gabriel A. Samuel 

There is a new navigation now in Jira cloud.
You will see a 'Create' button next to the big search bar on the top of the Jira page:

Hope this helps!
