Why is Project dropdown missing from new Confluence navigation?

[Jeannice Angela]

This used to be the fastest way to navigate between projects/spaces, now I have to go to Confluence, then go to dashboard and select my space instead of being able to tab over (issues/wiki) for each project/space. It makes it feel a lot less integrated than before, and is a bit annoying. Am I missing the new shortcut?

Yes I understand the navigation was updated, but I really think it made it worse, there's no more easy link to navigate between projects in JIRA and their corresponding spaces. It was how Studio was setup, now that it's onDemand, it's decoupled and honestly makes it more of a pain to navigate between the two. I wish it wasn't done, don't agree with the logic behind it.

We value your feedback, we are working on improving the new design to make it better and faster for the end-user.

I agree with you that it may feel like a step back, the new design is implemented using a completely revamped infra-structure that will allow us to improve the integration of the tools in the future, the old design/implementation had a few several drawbacks behind the scenes that we required us to make a difficult choice when moving forward with these new concepts.

Also please feel free to open a Improvement request with your concerns at https://jira.atlassian.com - AOD project.

Jeannice,

This seems to be an expected behavior with the new header introduction.
