Summary
In this release, we've introduced a redesigned left-side navigation menu, improved filtering with session-based retention and saved filters. These updates bring a more consistent and user-friendly experience across project and global views.
We've also fixed several issues, including access problems for Confluence Space Admins, a malfunction in the approval definition steps, group exclusion limits, and a misleading password reset error message.
Improvements
Redesigned Left-Hand-Side Navigation Panel IMPROVED
Redesigned the navigation menu to appear on the left side of the screen, aligning with the layout used in Atlassian UIs. The new menu supports collapsing and expanding, with a hover-to-reveal feature when collapsed. This update applies to both space-level and global-level views, enhancing consistency and usability across the app.
Saved filters for Approval and Definition views IMPROVED
Users can now save, load, and manage custom filters in the approval and definition list views.
Key features:
Saved filters persist across sessions
Filters can be named, described, and shared (private, group-level, or public)
Only the filter owner can edit or delete; others can view and apply
Filters adapt based on the current project or global context
All filters updated to match the latest Confluence UI style
Saved filter configurations in the Approval Path are stored using add-on properties through the REST API. These configurations are accessible and modifiable by any user with the appropriate permissions. Approval Path app does not control or restrict changes made by others.
Bug Fixes
Fixed access issue FIXED
We fixed an issue where space Admins were unable to access Approval Path app in Confluence spaces they manage.
Fixed definition step malfunctioning FIXED
We fixed an issue where disabling ‘Require comments on all actions' option in Global settings would cause problems with adding or removing definition steps. Some of the buttons were not behaving correctly
Fixed Group step issue FIXED
In the Group step of an approval definition, if more than 10 users were added to the Exclude users from group list, only the first 10 were saved.
This bug has been fixed. Now all excluded users are correctly saved, even if the list exceeds 10 entries.
Fixed password reset error page FIXED
Previously, after requesting a password reset, the user received a generic error message despite the email being sent successfully. This UI error has been corrected.
