Atlassian, Transformed with a New UI Update
Atlassian has introduced a new navigation system across all its products to deliver a more intuitive and efficient user experience. This UI revamp emphasizes customization, usability, and scalability, applying to all Atlassian products, including Confluence, Jira, and Jira Service Management (JSM).
The new navigation will be gradually rolled out starting March 17, 2025, allowing users to progressively experience the changes.
This update aims to ensure smoother workflows, enabling users to complete tasks faster and more efficiently. However, recognizing that adapting to UI changes can initially be challenging, Atlassian is implementing these updates gradually.
Exploring Key Changes in Confluence
Confluence, in particular, has undergone significant changes in the way users navigate content. The new navigation system is centered around simplified top navigation, an expanded sidebar, and enhanced customization features.
1. Simplified Top Navigation
Previously crowded with multiple items, the top navigation now focuses on search and essential tasks, reducing clicks and becoming more intuitive.
2. Sidebar-Centric Navigation
• For You: A personalized hub providing easy access to recently viewed pages and popular content.
• Recent: Quickly access recently visited pages, blogs, and whiteboards.
• Starred: Mark and easily access important items.
3. Sidebar Show/Hide Feature
Adjust or collapse the sidebar, expanding it again whenever needed.
4. Sidebar Customization
Use drag-and-drop to add, remove, or reorder menu items effortlessly.
5. Space Settings and App Management
Admins can access space settings and manage apps directly via the menu next to the space name.
Optimize Your Confluence Experience with Customized Navigation
