APFC - July 2025

Summary

In this release, we enhanced delegation functionality, introduced foundational UI updates in preparation for a future Forge-based experience, and resolved several bugs affecting filters, email actions, and layout responsiveness in Approval Path for Confluence.

Improvements

Improved delegation support and visibility IMPROVED

• Delegations now fully support Group and Vote steps

• Delegated approvals are visible in the Approvals list

Forge UI migration: new header and sidebar layout IMPROVED

We’ve prepared a React-based proof of concept for migrating the app UI to a future Atlassian Forge app.

• Built using Atlassian Design System components

• Designed for consistency with the Atlassian Cloud interface

• Implements foundational elements like global and user preferences views

• Includes a new left-side navigation menu with responsive behavior

Bug Fixes

Internal users redirected incorrectly from quick-action emails FIXED

Fixed an issue where internal users clicking “Approve” or “Reject” in call-to-action emails were redirected to the external user dashboard instead of Confluence. Internal users are now routed directly to Confluence, and their decisions are properly recorded.

Admins unable to save filters FIXED

We had an issue where admins couldn’t save filters. Now, filters can be saved as expected.

Groups removed from Delegations when editing FIXED

Editing an existing Delegation no longer removes previously assigned groups.

Action submitted without comment even when required FIXED

Resolved an issue where users could approve/reject directly from email without entering a required comment, violating the approval definition settings.

Delegate Details button issues in different browsers FIXED

The Delegate Details button failed to open or displayed an empty/cut-off screen. Now behaves correctly across Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.

Clickable area of buttons shrinks in narrow views FIXED

The Archive and Delete buttons for completed approvals are now fully clickable even when the widget is narrow.

Fixed UI misalignment in specific widget widths FIXED

We have fixed a layout issue where the Filter results and Manage approvals buttons became misaligned at certain widget widths.
