Feature settings
Only Jira admins, App admins, Project admins, and Board admins have permission to access and configure Feature settings.
Board Admins can enable or disable specific boards based on project needs. Each feature provides a distinct view or functionality for planning, tracking, or managing work.
To access the Features settings: Navigate to Board Settings > Select the Features tab.
Show or hide features within the board menu
In the Features settings, Board admins can turn features ON or OFF for the current board.
Turning a feature ON will display it in the board menu.
Turning it OFF will hide it from view.
Once applied, the selected features will appear (or be hidden) in the board menu for all users in this workspace.
You can also use the three-dot menu at the end of the board menu to show or hide features.
Or simply click
next to a board name in the menu to hide it instantly.
