Jira is getting a fresh new look and navigation

We’re in the process of rolling out these changes and the documentation may not match your experience. Bear with us while we update it to reflect the new changes. More about navigating the new Jira

Check the release status of a version

Since a version has many moving parts, you need to be sure that everything is ready before you can release a particular version — work items are complete, code is committed, reviewed, and merged, builds are passing, etc. The Release hub in software projects can help you stay on top of everything when it's time to release a version. Work items in Jira also have a development panel that help you see the development status at a glance.

Before you begin

To configure the board and any of its settings, you must be either:

  • project administrator for the location of the board

  • board administrator for the board itself

Use the release hub

The release hub is useful for seeing the status of a version at a point in time. It shows a summary and a breakdown of the work items in the version so you can see if there's any remaining work for the release.

To view a version, select Releases from your project navigation, then select your version from the list.

Depending on which development tools are connected to Jira, warnings can also appear when your work item data is potentially out of sync with your development data. These include warnings about work items that are marked as done but have open pull requests or unreviewed code.

More about warnings on the release page

Check the development status of an work item

If you need to deep dive into individual work items, the development panel on each work item will show you its development status. This includes commits, builds, branches, pull requests, and more.
