The Latest Atlassian Cloud Changes

Summary: Here is our updated consolidation of the Atlassian announcements for all the latest Atlassian Cloud changes.

February 2026

This week brings exciting innovations across the Atlassian ecosystem! From groundbreaking AI automation capabilities to powerful new content management tools, these updates are designed to help your teams work smarter and faster.

AI Agent Tools Transform Jira Automation

Jira Platform now features revolutionary AI agent tools that bring intelligent decision-making directly into your automation workflows. Using Claude and GPT models, your automations can now analyze issue content, generate responses, extract key information, and make context-aware decisions—all without manual intervention.

Create automations that intelligently categorize incoming issues, generate summaries from complex descriptions, extract action items from comments, or route work based on content analysis. The AI reads and understands your Jira data just like a team member would, then takes action automatically.

**Why it matters:This eliminates hours of manual triage and categorization work. Your team can focus on solving problems instead of sorting them, while AI handles the heavy lifting of understanding context and making smart routing decisions.

Bulk Export Pages with All Attachments

Confluence introduces a powerful bulk export capability that lets you download multiple pages along with all their attachments in a single operation. Whether you need to archive completed project documentation, share content with external partners, or create offline backups, you can now export entire page hierarchies with just a few clicks.

Select any combination of pages from your space, and Confluence will package everything—the pages themselves plus all associated files, images, and documents—into a convenient downloadable format.

**Why it matters:What used to take hours of manual downloading and organizing now happens automatically. Perfect for compliance requirements, client deliverables, or transitioning knowledge when team members change roles.

Import Request Types from Templates

Jira Service Management now lets you import pre-built request types from a template library, dramatically accelerating your service desk setup. Instead of building request forms from scratch, browse proven templates for common scenarios like IT support, HR requests, facilities management, and more—then customize them to match your specific needs.

Each template includes pre-configured fields, workflows, and automation rules based on industry best practices, giving you a professional service desk configuration in minutes instead of days.

**Why it matters:New service desks can be operational faster than ever, and you benefit from battle-tested configurations that reflect real-world best practices. Spend less time on setup and more time delivering great service to your customers.

Assets Becomes Standalone Platform App

Atlassian Administration has elevated Assets to a full platform application with its own dedicated space in your Atlassian organization. This architectural upgrade means more granular control over who can access and manage your asset data, with dedicated role assignments, separate billing management, and data residency controls.

Your existing Assets permissions and configurations migrate automatically, ensuring uninterrupted service while unlocking new capabilities for enterprise-grade asset management, compliance, and security controls.

**Why it matters:Organizations managing critical infrastructure, equipment, or configuration data gain enterprise-level controls that support compliance requirements and security policies. Better governance without disrupting your current workflows.

Assign Issues with Rovo Agents

Rovo Agents can now directly assign Jira issues as part of their automated workflows. This means your AI agents can analyze incoming work, determine the best team member to handle it based on skills, availability, and workload, and automatically assign the issue—creating a truly hands-free triage system.

Rovo considers factors like current workload, expertise areas, and historical performance to make intelligent assignment decisions, ensuring work lands with the right person at the right time.

**Why it matters:Eliminate assignment bottlenecks and ensure balanced workloads across your team. Issues get to the right expert faster, reducing resolution times and preventing burnout from uneven work distribution.

January 2026

The following new Jira and Confluence Cloud features are now rolling out. They may not yet be available in your environment.

AI-Powered Sprint Goals in Jira

Say goodbye to blank sprint goal fields! Jira now automatically generates sprint goals based on your team’s work items. Simply start or edit a sprint, and Jira analyzes the summaries and descriptions of your work items to suggest a focused, meaningful sprint goal.

**Why it matters: Sprint planning meetings just got faster. Use the AI-generated suggestion as-is or tweak it to perfection—either way, your team starts every sprint with clear direction and shared purpose.

Record Loom Videos Directly in Jira

Communication just leveled up! You can now record Loom videos right from your Jira work items without switching apps. Even better, Rovo intelligently updates your work item description based on what you share in the video—turning your verbal explanation into structured documentation.

**Why it matters: Complex bugs and features are easier to explain with video. Now you can show and tell without leaving Jira, and your team gets both the video walkthrough and auto-generated written context—all in one place.

Automated Asset Imports in Jira Service Management

Keep your asset data fresh without lifting a finger! Admins can now schedule recurring imports for Assets object schemas, choosing the frequency, date, time, and time zone that works best for your organization. Set it once and let automation handle the rest.

**Why it matters: Manual imports are tedious and easy to forget. Automated scheduling ensures your IT and service teams always have up-to-date asset information for faster incident resolution and better decision-making.

Granular Admin Permissions in Jira Product Discovery

Empower your team without compromising control! Space admins can now create custom roles with specific admin permissions in Jira Product Discovery. Delegate tasks like managing workflows, fields, and watchers while keeping critical settings locked down.

**Why it matters: Not everyone needs full admin access, but some team members need more than basic permissions. Granular controls let you distribute responsibilities appropriately, increasing efficiency while maintaining security.

AI Summaries in Confluence Email Recommendations

Your inbox just got smarter! Instead of seeing the first 200 characters of recommended Confluence pages, some users will now receive AI-generated summaries in their emails. These intelligent previews give you the essence of each page at a glance.

**Why it matters: Stop opening pages just to figure out if they’re relevant. Smart summaries help you quickly identify which content deserves your attention, saving time and keeping you focused on what matters most.

Smarter Automation with Nested Conditions

Build more sophisticated automation workflows in both Jira and Confluence with the ability to add connections to nested conditions within IF-ELSE blocks. This enhancement gives you unprecedented flexibility to create complex, multi-branched automation rules that mirror your real-world business processes.

**Why it matters: Automate intricate workflows without workarounds or multiple rules. Perfect for teams managing complex approval processes, multi-stage ticket routing, or conditional page updates.

AI-Powered Incident Response Gets Even Faster

Jira Service Management ChatOps now automatically sends AI-generated incident summaries the moment you join a Slack channel linked to an incident. No more manual requests or playing catch-up—get instantly up to speed on critical incidents with intelligent, context-aware summaries delivered right to you.

**Why it matters: Reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) by eliminating the information-gathering phase. Your incident response team can jump straight into problem-solving mode with full context from the moment they arrive.

Enhanced Board Layouts in Confluence Databases

Transform how you visualize and organize information with powerful new board layout features in Confluence databases. Group items by user fields, add subgroups for deeper organization, and sort groups to match your team’s priorities—all in an intuitive, visual board format.

**Why it matters: See your data the way you think about it. Perfect for project planning, resource allocation, and sprint management, where multi-dimensional views help teams identify patterns and make better decisions faster.

Precision Automation for Assets Management

Jira Service Management introduces a game-changing “Attribute value changed” trigger for Assets automation. Instead of reacting to broad object-level events, you can now trigger automation rules when specific attributes change—giving you surgical precision in managing your IT assets and configuration items.

**Why it matters: Eliminate manual monitoring and reduce alert fatigue. Track exactly what matters—like warranty expirations, license renewals, or compliance status changes—without being overwhelmed by every minor update.

New Hierarchy Template for Product Discovery

Jira Product Discovery Premium users can now leverage a new Hierarchy template inspired by the opportunity solution tree practice. This structured approach helps product teams connect opportunities, solutions, and ideas in a visual framework that ensures you’re building features that genuinely drive business outcomes.

**Why it matters: Stop guessing, start connecting. See the direct line from customer problems to potential solutions, ensuring every feature you build addresses a real opportunity and moves your key metrics.

Why it matters: Build and modify workflows more intuitively with a modern, streamlined interface.

Format Numbers as Currency or Percentages

Perfect for tracking budgets, spending, and progress metrics right on your boards, forms, and work items. Your project admins can configure the format once, and everyone benefits from clearer, more meaningful data.
