Recent highlights
More reliable large-workbook review
Responsive background processing, resumable progress and smoother continuous table loading keep larger reviews moving.
Faster content building
Review Description output row by row and add source columns immediately in the Description and field value builders.
Contextual workbook help
Import Rescue appears when validation is blocked or the current import report contains failed rows, so users can reach support from the problem they are reviewing.
Start from a Jira issue
A Jira issue action can open the importer from the current issue and prepare the normal review-first workflow with that issue selected as the parent.
Safer review before import
Clearer repair guidance, cell-level ignore controls, better required Reporter handling and cleaner validation messages help users understand what needs attention before Jira is changed.
