If you are using a server version, just scroll to the bottom of any dashboard page and you will see the version at the bottom of the screen.

As mentioned above, for cloud version you always have the latest.

doesn't help if you need to know if this latest version is compatible with one of the market place plugins !!!!

Hi @Shaun Morgan ,

You are on cloud and it will be on latest version of snapshot. Atlassian will update the new snapshots frequently.

You can see below link for weekly news on cloud roll out changes and you can watch this page for weekly updates on cloud changes.

Thanks,

Avinash

but you may not always be on the "latest" since rollout is controlled. often times individuals may be on previous versions. IMO, this is something that needs to be address, i.e. the ability to determine the version and click to see the appropriate RNs

If nothing else, just an indicator of how far behind you are and ideally, a date of next update.

is there a compatibility matrix somewhere for Marketplace app for Cloud? I have never seen. While I don't use many apps (4-5) I have never run into a compatibility issue that I can recall. Doesn't mean it won't happen. Regardless, w/ Cloud instances changing very frequently I don't see that it would matter. You would be compatible one minute and not the next. This is one of the requirements and challenges of Cloud. Successful vendors must constantly be testing for compatibility.

You don't need to think about that on Cloud.  Cloud is upgraded and plugins need to follow it.

You may find a plugin stops working for a while because something structural has changed and the vendor has ignored the upcoming changes information they've been given and not upgraded it.  But this is unlikely as the APIs vendors rely on tend to change slowly, with plenty of notice, and most importantly, in a backwards compatible way.  Functions get added, but rarely changed or removed.

For server, you do need to think about it.  If you look at the downloads for the versions of any given plugin, you'll see they name the compatible server versions.

Thanks for clearing that up.

On any Jira webpage, Epic, Story etc. right click and chose "View page source" this opens a view of the html for the page

use ctrl-f or cmd-f to open the find text box type "version", the very first instance it finds should be the version you are on

for instance for me on 03/26/2025 (I am on Jira Cloud) my version is 1001.0.0

it will look something like this

<body id="jira" class="deferred adg3" data-version="1001.0.0-SNAPSHOT">
<meta name="application-name" content="JIRA" data-name="jira" data-version="1001.0.0-SNAPSHOT">
