Meet the new BigPicture navigation
A faster, smarter, and more intuitive way to work is here. We’ve redesigned BigPicture navigation to give you a smoother experience and better access to what matters most.
→ Discover what’s new, explore key improvements, and review feature name updates on the New navigation page.
→ The rollout will happen gradually, and the previous navigation will be retired in September 2026.
The Skill widget lets you add skills to the project tasks directly on the Jira issue detail page.
Access Skill widget configuration page
Click the App settings button (wrench icon) in the top right corner and select Widgets from the drop-down list. Next, go to the Skill Widget tab.

Configure Skill widget
The widget configuration page offers two general options that you can apply to your projects and Jira issue types.
