The new navigation opt-in is now available

[#1]

The wait is over—everyone can now try the new navigation! We're excited to share that the opt-in experience is officially available for your sites.

Try it out early

✨ Can’t wait to dive in? You can opt in starting April 14, 2025 (5:45 p.m. PST).

Start exploring the new experience, get comfortable with the changes, and set your team up for a smooth transition before the new navigation becomes the default.

What’s available now?

Starting April 14, 2025 (5.45 p.m. PST), admins will begin seeing the option to try out the new navigation.

The new navigation is available on Jira, Jira Service Management, Jira Product Discovery, Confluence, and Atlassian Home. Here's what you can expect:

• Free plan: All users are already on the new navigation, which admins and users cannot turn off.

• Standard, Premium, and Enterprise plans: Admins can turn on the new navigation:

  • For just themselves

  • For everyone on the site

• Sandbox environments: Admins can self-serve and choose to turn on the new navigation.

What’s coming next?

We’re continuing to roll things out in phases to make sure everything runs smoothly. Here’s a look at what’s planned:

• Standard plan: Rollout begins in mid-April 2025 and will continue through mid-May 2025.

  • Once your site is on the new navigation, admins can no longer turn it off; it will be enabled for all users.

  • However, for Jira and Atlassian Home, users can still turn off the new navigation only for themselves till the end of May 2025. This will not affect anyone else on the site.

• Enablement materials: We’re actively working on support resources and will share them as soon as they’re ready. In the meantime, here are the official help articles for the new navigation:

  • Jira’s new navigation

  • Confluence’s new navigation

  • Atlassian Home’s new navigation

We’re following a planned schedule and will continue to share specific dates and updates along the way. See the timelines here.

What to expect?

Depending on the product, you can access admin controls to turn on the new navigation from April 14, 2025 (5.45 p.m. PST).

• For Jira, go to Settings > Personal Jira settings. 

• For Confluence, go to Settings > Configuration > New feature.

• For Atlassian Home, go to Settings > Personal settings.

⚠️ While the rollout begins immediately, it may take up to 3 days to reach all sites. Thanks for your patience as it rolls out. 

We know some users are concerned that rollout dates might be uncertain, but we want to assure you that we're sticking to the schedule and will keep you informed every step of the way.

In the meantime, join our focus group to stay updated, ask questions, raise concerns, and connect with the team working on the new navigation.

Cheers,
The Atlassian navigation team

More than 'opt-in', it is being pushed onto end-users who won't have any idea what it is or why things have changed dramatically for them.

Hi!

Am I the only one not being able to find the option in Jira?

Is it under Settings - System, and then something else?

For Confluence I do see New features, but I don't see the new UI/navigation as an option.

You are not. As they article says: "While the rollout begins immediately, it may take up to 3 days to reach all sites. Thanks for your patience as it rolls out. "
