Keeping your Sustainian Jira plugin up-to-date in Jira Cloud is crucial for maintaining functionality, security, and accessing the latest features. This guide provides a step-by-step process on how to ensure your plugin is always using the most current version.
How Updates Are Handled in Jira Cloud
Automatic Updates:
Seamless Integration: In Jira Cloud, updates for installed apps like the Sustainian plugin are typically handled automatically. Atlassian manages these updates to ensure that your apps are always current without requiring manual intervention.
Notification of Updates: Although updates are automatic, you may receive notifications within the Jira Cloud interface or via email informing you about major updates, new features, or necessary actions following an update.
Checking for Updates
Accessing the Manage Apps Page:
Navigate to ‘Manage your apps’ by clicking on the ‘Apps’ menu in the top bar of your Jira Cloud dashboard. This area lets you view all your installed apps and any available information about updates.
Reviewing Updates:
While Jira Cloud handles updates automatically, you can review the ‘Versions and updates’ section within the Manage Apps page to see the current version of your installed apps and any notes on recent changes.
What to Expect During an Update
Update Process:
Updates are applied without needing to manually trigger them. Atlassian ensures that the updates do not disrupt your ongoing work.
If an update includes significant changes, you might see in-app messages or banner notifications guiding you through new features or changes in functionality.
Post-Update Actions:
After an update is applied, it’s a good practice to check the functionality of the plugin to ensure that everything is working as expected.
Review any release notes or update summaries provided in the notification to understand the impact of the update on your use of the plugin.
