Jira Software Update - Search Functionality, Usability and Dark Mode

Jira Software has undergone some significant updates to make your work and search processes even more straightforward and efficient. Let's dive right into these new features:

Enhanced Search Functionality

Find what you're looking for even quicker with Jira Software's improved quick search feature. These enhancements make your day-to-day tasks more effortless:

• "Reported by me" filter: Locate your tasks even faster with the "Reported by me" filter.
• Project sorting: Projects you are currently working on now appear at the top of the search results, saving valuable clicks and time.
• More precise search: Just like in Google, you can now refine your search by using quotation marks to look for specific phrases.

Usability Updates in Jira Cloud

Atlassian is continuously improving your user experience in Jira Software. Here are some of the latest improvements:

• Advanced search with JQL: Now, you can search for tasks using structured queries made with the Jira Query Language (JQL). This allows you to search for exact phrases.
• Customizable pin ordering: Easily sort your pinned fields in the order you prefer. With drag-and-drop, you can organize the arrangement to your liking.
• App update: Clear task presentation: With the new Jira app update, your issues are no longer merely listed in a long, complicated list. Instead, they are now shown in expandable sections, offering a better overview.
• Fewer email notifications: Tired of all the email notifications you and your team are getting? You can now choose not to send notifications to team members with every update. This frees up more time for the truly important stuff. This update is available in the Advanced Roadmap.

Dark Mode is here!

Last but not least, Atlassian has implemented a frequently, if not the most requested feature: Dark Mode in Jira is finally available. The dark design offers a comfortable working atmosphere - especially for those of us who are night owls! You can switch to dark mode through your theme settings.

Have fun testing out these updates and boosting your productivity! As always, we'll keep you updated on further developments and new features!
