What are release tracks?
Who can do this? |
Release tracks are settings that help you manage when apps and sandboxes in your organization receive changes and new features.
Release track options
Select a release track that aligns with your preferred way of receiving changes:
Continuous track: To receive all types of changes as soon as they become available. By default, your Atlassian apps and sandboxes are on the continuous release track.
Bundled track: To get most of the changes as a group on a monthly cadence. Bundled changes roll out from 22:00 UTC on the second Tuesday of each month. You can’t customize the time your apps receive changes.
Preview track: To test bundled changes in advance. This track is available only for sandboxes.
Changes included in the continuous track
The continuous track includes all types of changes. Changes include new features, improvements, bug fixes, security and performance updates, and removal of an app or feature.
Changes included in the bundled track
The bundled track includes visible changes that require people to adjust the way they are working, but do not cause significant impact to the organization. Some examples include:
moving a button
a new task the user needs to complete
a new setting
a new step in a Jira workflow

Changes not included in the bundled track
The following types of changes will continue to roll out as soon as they are available, even after you switch your app to the bundled track:
Bug fixes and security and performance updates.
Jira Service Management features powered by Opsgenie.
Visible changes that roll out over a longer period of time. These changes could be the removal of a product or feature, or a large, significant change. Examples of large, significant changes include moving to:
the new issue experience in Jira
the fabric editor in Confluence
Changes included in the preview track
This track contains the same set of changes as the bundled track. But your sandbox receives the bundled changes a month before they are available in production. Configure the release track of your sandbox
