Data Center Roadmap

Streamline, monitor, and manage how pull requests are merged into active repository branches, helping your teams move faster by reducing interruptions.

Review, comment on, and approve pull requests on the go using our newly responsive pull request page optimized for mobile device access.

Data Center rate limiting enhancements are being made to allow admins to better protect Confluence and other Data Center products from abusive or high-rate traffic (including scripts and bots) and improve reliability for legitimate users, with configurable limits across key endpoints and separate controls for user vs. bot traffic.

Get centralised, instance‑level security insights for your Confluence and Jira Data Center in Admin Hub. Quickly surface potential risks, understand recommended next steps, and take guided actions to help you strengthen your security posture over time.

Protect Jira Data Center clusters from runaway queries with JQL resilience improvements. Set limits to prevent heavy or misconfigured searches from degrading node stability, and use an API to let plugins block specific JQL queries.

Enable compatibility with identity providers that require signed requests and enhance your SSO security posture, giving security teams greater control over SAML-based authentication flows and helping to satisfy stricter compliance requirements.

Reduce the need for Jira admins to have direct OS‑level access and rely on least privilege access models, which allows you to simplify audits and better satisfy internal and external security requirements.

The new MailboxCleanupService periodically cleans up processed or problematic messages to maintain reliable email processing in large mailboxes.

New safeguards help you stay within recommended limits for comments, custom fields, issue types, issues, and projects in Jira to maintain system stability and performance as your instance scales.

Manage custom fields with search, filtering, and bulk actions, including deletion. View usage details and localization impact directly from recommendations.

Redesigned user interface with improved administration and program management capabilities in Advanced Roadmaps for Jira, including dark theme support. Delivers a more seamless and consistent experience for viewing and managing projects.

Set up and manage cloud connectors like Rovo and Portfolio Insights from a central place in the Atlassian Administration Hub for a more secure, standardized way to connect Jira and Confluence Data Center to Atlassian Cloud, without disrupting workflows.

Get better control over how API traffic from modern integrations is managed and protect your Jira Data Center instance from accidental overload while still allowing critical integrations and automations to run reliably.

Save time by easily navigating field configurations in the admin experience.

Work more efficiently and eliminate unnecessary steps by directly defining watchers in Jira’s issue creation form.

Agents and admins can limit comment visibility in service projects to specific roles or groups, enhancing control over information sharing

Improve Confluence’s performance and efficiently manage your space’s trash with new details about who created and deleted the content.

Migrate your Automation for Jira (A4J) rules from Data Center environments to the Cloud with Jira Cloud Migration Assistant (JCMA)

Integrate multiple Identity Providers directly with Crowd. This will allow Crowd to serve as the sole integration point with the IdP, acting as a bridge between the IdP and other Atlassian Data Center products. Context: Previously, Crowd offered an Entra ID integration that synchronized users from Entra ID directories, enabling them to authenticate to Crowd. However, this feature required disabling Entra ID’s Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). With Microsoft’s announcement that MFA will soon be mandatory for all Entra ID customers, organizations using this integration must now redesign their setups and adopt native SSO functionality to integrate with Entra ID.

Enhance security, reduce unauthorized access risks, and integrate seamlessly with existing identity providers to simplify user access management. For iOS devices only. For implementation details, refer to the below resources:

Restrict file attachments globally by creating an allowlist or blocklist of file extensions.

Assets admins can now conveniently schedule and monitor import statuses for all object schemas in a single location, allowing for easy optimization of import configurations.

Keep track of the number of words or characters in your page or blog post as you type by using the word count feature located in the bottom toolbar of the editor.

Admins can manage content at scale, including the ability to script and automate updates to pages and spaces, and other administrative tasks, with additional REST APIs.

Easily understand a user’s permissions for a project or repository, seeing both explicit permissions and inherited permissions from user groups.

Add comments and tasks to specific line ranges to improve team communication and streamline your code review process.

Easily resize an image by using the drag handle, located on the side of the image.

Choose between Dark theme or Light theme. Alternative color themes to reduce eye strain and improve contrast for better accessibility.

Protect sensitive actions by requiring users to re-authenticate with a time-based one-time password (TOTP) when accessing administration screens.

Gain insight into search health through visibility of repository indexing.

The updated Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) offers an inventory of your Data Center product using mostly backend (and some frontend) dependencies, helping you facilitate a smooth integration into automated security checks and eliminating the need for reactive security scan adjustments.

Updated font and table background color palettes including more colors, improved contrast for better accessibility and dark theme compatibility.

Deploy Bitbucket Mesh on Kubernetes clusters using hardened container images and helm chart templates.

The ProForma app will be free for all Jira Service Management Data Center customers in 10.3 LTS. ProForma makes building dynamic forms simple, easy, and fast by reducing the need for custom fields or complex Jira configurations.

Bitbucket supports two new SSH key types: ED25519-SK and ECDSA-SK designed to work with FIDO2/U2F hardware authenticators. Security keys are a safer substitute for passwords or traditional SSH keys to protect your code, offering a reliable way to improve your security posture and implement multifactor authentication for Git operations.

Easily copy and share links to comments with a new copy link shortcut for page and inline comments.

Customize your profile pictures with the ability to set their initials as an avatar, and rotate and delete their profile photos.

Take advantage of alternative colors with Dark and Light themes, to reduce eye strain and improve contrast for better accessibility.

Use data dimension recommendations to identify and manage performance and scale risks.

Carry out multiple import jobs in parallel. With this feature, you’ll no longer have to worry about a critical job not starting on time due to other delayed import jobs.

Fully manage groups within Azure AD Crowd directories and delegate group management to other users to reduce overhead.

Save time by re-indexing a specific space rather than running a full site reindex in Confluence.

Giving admins the tools they need to identify licensed users and manage available seats and licensing costs.

Securely connect your Atlassian self-managed products with Atlassian Cloud products to ensure smooth collaboration between teams using different deployments.

Improve the security and reliability of your integrations with Bamboo’s new tokens and accept requests from external applications using the OAuth2 authentication scheme.

Save time when editing descriptions for multiple issues with the new bulk description edit flow, allowing you to edit many descriptions in just a few clicks.

Align content to the top, middle, or bottom within a table cell.

Quickly link issues between projects from the ‘more’ menu.

Connect Jira Product Discovery with Jira Data Center (DC) to streamline the discovery and delivery process in product organisations using Jira DC. Product Managers will be able to connect ideas with delivery tickets in Jira DC and track the delivery progress.

Get more out of your work in Jira, especially if you're dealing with slow-performant hardware or network issues with faster page load times for Jira Backlog and Board agile views.
