Where is 'RELEASE' or 'Version' in new GUI?

Henry_Li September 2, 2025

This is really frustrated! I did lots of search and some answer is about to use adding navigation. BUT I couldn't find it! CAN I move back to original JIRA GUI?

Hi @Henry_Li

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Are you using a Business project? The option to use Releases and versions is not available on the Team-managed business projects, however, you can use this feature on the Company-managed business projects by navigating to Project Settings > Versions.

I hope this information helps!

Thank you

Thanks, and is it possible to change the project setting as you mentioned? It seems I need to re-create a brand new project space to deal with it?

Hey @Henry_Li

We cannot directly change the Project type from Business to Software, however, you can import the issues from business project to a Software project following the steps outline in this document: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/import-data-from-a-business-project-to-a-software-project/

Thank you!

Hi @Henry_Li 

Have you checked the horizontal menu bar in your project view? You should be able to add it to the main navigation if not:

Problem is I couldn't find the thing like you, even I tried 'Add navigation' below is what I had. It's weird!

In the new Jira GUI, the Release/Version option is now under “Releases” in the left-hand project navigation. If you don’t see it, you might need to enable it in Project Settings → Features. Unfortunately, Jira doesn’t allow switching back to the old GUI.
