Atlassian timeline for ending Connect support

Atlassian has announced the timeline for Connect's phased end-of-support.

From Sep 17, 2025, only Forge apps can be submitted to the Atlassian Marketplace. All new extensibility features will be delivered only on Forge.

Web Panel

Adds a panel (or section) to a page in the Atlassian application. Panels let you present related information and controls in the application interface as a group. For example, the existing "People" panel in Jira issue view shows the assignee, reporter, and similar information for the issue.

Example

1
2
{
  "modules": {
    "webPanels": [
      {
        "url": "/web-panel",
        "location": "atl.jira.view.issue.right.context",
        "layout": {
          "width": "10px",
          "height": "100%"
        },
        "weight": 50,
        "supportsNative": false,
        "name": {
          "value": "My Web Panel"
        },
        "key": "my-web-panel"
      }
    ]
  }
}

The weight is incremented by 10 for each in sequence to leave room for custom panels.
