Jira 4.1 Feature Deep-dives
The Jira team wrote a great series of blog posts about the cool new features in Jira 4.1 that made working with issues faster and simpler. Here’s a quick summary of those posts.
New look issue screen
Jira 4.1 introduced a new look for the issue screen, designed to better organize all the information about a given issue and support faster issue updates and triage. Some of the notable improvements include:

Issue operations bar
The new-look issue screen puts issue operations on the top of the screen (instead of on the left) in a menu-based toolbar that is always available no matter how far you scroll down the page. It’s a big change, and a huge time-saver!
Common operations are now emphasized more prominently, including:
- Adding a comment
- Workflow transitions
- Adding attachments
- and more!
