This documentation details the new side panel available within the OKR for Jira Cloud app. With this new feature, you can do multiple actions while staying in the context of the main OKR Overview table:

  • Check OKR details, Progress, and Updates.

  • Provide new updates or comments on the old ones.

  • Create new OKR for selected Objectives.

  • Create new or link existing Jira issues to Key Results.

Accessing the side panel

  1. Navigate to the OKR Overview page.

  2. Select an objective or key result. This will display the side panel for that specific item.
