How-to guide - Add Progress Updates

 Instructions

1. Once the app is shown (see How-to guide - Show Progress Updates in Issue Panel), the application menu will be shown in the right-hand top corner of the app.

2. Click the … to show the actions menu.

   Open

   

    

3. Click New Update to create a new update. A popup will be displayed.
   Enter the headline shown with the tag - this is optional but is a quick way to show stakeholders the issue's update.

   Open

   

    

4. Tag colours are a quick way to signify the status of the issue. There are many colours to choose from (see Validate Progress Update Tags for a list).

    

5. The data picker allows for daily updates. However, a better practice might be weekly or fortnightly, depending on your communication cadence.

6. The Update field will grow as more text is added (sometimes, it takes a space or newline to trigger the resize). The field can also contain simple HTML tags to make the update visually appealing (see Validate Progress Update Tags for more details). Note: a rich text box is not available within the Atlassian UI Kit.

    

7. Click Save to create and display the update record within the issue panel.

8. A notification will be sent to the editor, the assignee, and the watchers of the issue following the notification scheme(s).
