Hi @Roja Gurram 

If you add backlog to any of the columns in the Kanban board other than the first, you lose it from the menu. If you put backlog back in the backlog column of the kanban board in board settings>column management, it will return to your sidenav bar. 

I have attached a screenshot for your reference.

Please let me if this works for you. 

 

Cheers,

Mayur

Hello @Roja Gurram 

This document describes how to turn on the backlog option for a kanban board in Jira Server. If you are not seeing the screens described, please provide a screen image of what you do see.
