We also noticed that admins are able to rename different project areas/tabs such as "Backlog" or "Active Sprints". These tabs can be renamed with customized titles. Question for the Atlassian Team: Is this only permissible for "Site"/"Org" admins or can the project-level admins also change the project tab names?

Hey @Ariel Kauan thank you for the feedback! Would you be able to share a screenshot of exactly what you mean so we can make sure we understand correctly?
We found out now, that the header links and the links from the table of content don´t work in the new navigation. This is a topic that needs urgent support and solution. Find my ticket to it here CES-79300
@Martina Guth Could you give us any further information here? Unfortunately I can't open your ticket.
After a short test on my side, I can confirm:
With the "table of content" macro there is not reaction if you click on a header link. Manual Smart Links do work and you will be forwarded to the linked target, but not with the links of the "table of content" macro.
Hi @Martin Flury , For our documentation on the new navigation we wrote our docu in three languages underneath. Header is the language. On top we have the link to the language (link to header). This does only work, if you click on the language, wait until the changes appear in the url and then click to the end of the url and enter. Then these links work. But this is nothing we can say to our colleagues, you know? And the try with lable of content is affected, as you have seen this on your own. If you like, give me a call and I can show you.

Has their been any discussion around delaying this roll out due to the SIGNIFICANT pushback from the community and multitude of issues raised? This change will cost my company >$1million in lost time/efficiency assuming each user only loses 5hrs trying to learn this new, in my opinion absolutely awful, navigation.
Not to mention this new view takes up 1/4th of the screen horizontally where the previous version only utilized 1/10th vertically. The top nav is not gained with this change, it's still being used, meaning we only lose working space. I can confidently There are 0 benefits to this change for all 98% of my users. The 2% that couldn't find the search bar before, may benefit.
This has a HUGE impact on our laptop-based users and will continue to negatively impact their work until a proper solution is identified.
Please reconsider this terribly UI change. Or at least don't force it on your enterprise customers who pay millions a year for a functional system.
Hi @Varsha Patel - I noticed in the Manage the navigation rollout page under Navigation Resources posted by @Aditi Dalal that the rollout timelines are different than at the top of this post from last updated April 16, 2025 (although unchanged from when they were first posted on Mar 30, 2025).
In short, it seems dates have "slipped" by a month. Are the dates on the documentation page correct? Will this original post be updated at some point?
Thank you for pointing out the inconsistency. This was a miss from our end. TheGA postis the most accurate for the rollout information. We've also updated the manage the navigation rollout page under Navigation Resources to reflect this.
Additionally, I'll add on to the change log if there is a change in the rollout so that everyone is aware of the latest information.
For now, the timelines haven't changed. We're so sorry for this misinformation!
We use Confluence Standard, Jira Standard and Jira Service Management Premium.
Quote this article; "I have mixed subscriptions/plans for my products. When will my site get the new navigation?
To maintain consistency across products, you’ll get the new navigation based on the product that has the highest plans.
For example, if your site has Jira on a Premium plan and Confluence on a Standard plan, then both products will get the new navigation according to the Premium plan's timelines, i.e., in July 2025."
Except I received an email stating "we would like to remind you that starting May 19, 2025 PDT, the new Atlassian navigation will be automatically enabled for all sites across Jira, Jira Product Discovery, Jira Service Management, Confluence, and Atlassian Home".

@Steve C It looks like there was a mix-up with our email targeting. We’re still following the rollout timelines mentioned above, and so the mixed subscription rule continues to apply.
Can you send an email to adalal@atlassian.com with the URLs of your sites, so that I can confirm that the new navigation will not be automatically enabled on May 19th?
In the backlog I see my quick-filters twice. 1 colleague of mine has the same problem, others from my team only see it once. Anyone an idea what this can be?
That definitely looks like a bug. I would raise a support ticket for this via https://support.atlassian.com/contact. You should proactively supply a HAR file extract so that Atlassian can investigate the behaviour better (especially since not everyone is seeing this issue).

@Varsha Patel are there any plans you can share here around adjusting the timeline to have a more refined product for your Premium and Enterprise customers?

Use of the Jira to Google Sheets connector requires me to star filters, so my "starred" section is pretty useless for navigation purposes now that you've thrown all the different types in together. At a bare minimum, please let us pin specific links on our navigation.
As users repeatedly told you in the beta, the sidebar scrolling and toggling is costing me an absurd amount of time. It's not an adoption issue, it's a basic usability one. Instead of utilizing the two dimensions to select type then link, everything is now trying to happen in one vertical axis. This is a major regression.
Ads. Everywhere. All the time. If this update is meant to "declutter" please start with the Atlassian product ads that have started popping up in even more places.
My coworker on dark mode who had the beta enabled wasn't seeing half the changes I was -- is dark mode at parity?
Font change, color changes, symbol updates are all neutral or good - the new bug is cute! I really hope that whoever calls the shots (and can call this off until significant improvements are made) can understand that users aren't upset because it's new, we're upset because it's significantly worse in a way time and adoption won't fix.
