Deploy configuration changes from a sandbox
This feature is in beta, and is available to participating organizations.
Who can do this? Role: Organization admin Plan: Premium or Enterprise plan for Jira Atlassian Government Cloud: Not available |
You can deploy configuration changes from a sandbox environment to its linked production environment (or another sandbox environment). This means you won't have to manually track what's changed in your sandbox and copy those changes over.
Before you begin
Make sure you read the recommended workflow for deployments.
If you are deploying the changes to another sandbox, the sandbox must be online.
If you have initiated deployment from a sandbox, wait for it to complete before you start deploying configuration changes again.
Before you deploy changes, make sure to review dependencies and projects that are likely to be impacted.
Until the deployment completes, do not make any other configuration changes on the destination manually. Such changes may interfere with the deployment and lead to inconsistent configuration in the deployment or failed deployments.
Deploy changes
To deploy changes from a sandbox, follow these steps:
Step 1: Initiate the deployment
Step 2: View and select configuration changes
Step 3: Review and start the deployment
Step 4: Review changes in the destination

Select the environment where you want to deploy the data to and then select Confirm.
While the list of your configuration changes is being generated, you can choose to stay on the deployment page, or navigate to a different page. You can check the status of the scan from the Deployment log page.
