This page includes release notes and updates for Compass app developers. Use this page to keep track of new features, upcoming changes and deprecation notices about the Compass developer platform and GraphQL API.
If you're new to building apps for Compass, check out Get started building Compass apps to begin your journey.
For updates about changes to the Forge platform, see the Forge changelog in the Forge documentation.
You may also be interested in the What's New blog for Atlassian Cloud where we announce new product features and other major changes affecting all users of Compass.
The ability to build Forge apps that are compatible with multiple Atlassian apps is now available in Preview. This feature allows you to declare compatibility in your app’s manifest and enables your app to be installed and used across Jira, Confluence, and Compass.
For more information, see App compatibility.
The following flows are available for testing in this Preview:
Create, deploy, and install an app via the CLI
Distribute the app via a direct distribution link
View and connect/disconnect compatible Atlassian apps in Connected Apps
Add the app to Marketplace
Important considerations:
Customer release (GA) is planned for the end of January 2025.
Until GA: We recommend keeping Marketplace apps private, as customer-facing changes are not yet available (admins currently only see the required app in the consent screen when installing).
For guidance on migrating existing apps, see our migration guidelines.
When defining resolvers, the front-end code can share the types with the backend so the invocation interface is type-safe. This helps catch potential errors during compilation.
Forge Automation Actions is now available in Preview. This feature allows you to extend the Automation Platform and add new Forge-based actions to your app. During Preview, the Automation Actions in your app can be used in production environments.
For more information, see the Forge Automation Action documentation and share your feedback to help us improve

The allow-popups attribute of the sandbox directive (content security policy) is now supported in Forge Custom UI and UI Kit apps when using * as your client egress configuration. This enables external content (such as those from 3rd party integrations) to open properly in new tabs instead of being blocked by browser security restrictions.
With this enhancement, external content will open in a new browser tab while keeping your Forge app running.
For more information, see the valid domain formats documentation.
We are announcing the deprecation of the following Compass GraphQL API fields:
createComponentFromTemplate
createWebhook
userDefinedParameters
updateUserDefinedParameters
These APIs will be removed on December 1, 2025.
Why is this deprecation necessary? The Compass Templates feature is being removed. See the community post for more details.
We're deprecating the createComponentScorecardJiraIssue, updateComponentScorecardJiraIssue, and activeIssues fields in Compass. These fields will be replaced by createComponentScorecardWorkItem, updateComponentScorecardWorkItem, and activeWorkItems.
This change will take effect on October 1, 2025.
Why is this deprecation necessary? The new fields provide enhanced functionality and better integration with Compass.
What is changing? Developers should transition to using the new fields: createComponentScorecardWorkItem, updateComponentScorecardWorkItem, and activeWorkItems.
Dates and rollout: The deprecation will be effective from October 1, 2025.

As part of the Atlassian visual refresh updates, we updated the UI Kit Icon component. Some glyphs get a new look, and many more glyphs have been added. There are also a number of deprecations, as detailed below.
The size prop will only support the values "small" and "medium". The value "large" is now deprecated and will be removed.
The prop primaryColor has been renamed to color.
The prop secondaryColor is now deprecated and will be removed.
Some glyphs haven been replaced and others will be removed. Visit the Icon migration guide for information on finding a replacement.

All deprecations and breaking changes will take place on Jan 1, 2026. Until then, the new Icon component will be fully backwards-compatible. Any deprecation will trigger a console warning prefixed with [@forge/react: Icon] on non-production environments.
