Versions are points-in-time for a project. They help you schedule and organize your releases.
Once a version is created and issues are assigned to it, you can use several reports, e.g. the Change Log report, when managing the version.
The Change Log report, in particular, gives you a review of the released version, and is driven by the 'Fix For Version' field on each issue.

Versions can only be managed when you have Project administrator or Jira Admin permission including Edit issue permission.
At YME we use an Addon for Version management called Version manager  so users without Project administrator or Jira administrator permissions can also use this functionality.

Versions set via Manage versions can be selected via drop-down fields 'Fix Version/s' and 'Affects Version'.

Manage versions in a Kanban board

A version is a set of features and fixes released together as a single update to your product. By default, Kanban boards do not require issues to be pre-assigned to versions. This is because Kanban is designed for a continuous flow of work, rather than set iterations.

On a Kanban board, you can choose to release a version at any point in time — the version will contain all issues that are complete at that time. You also specify the name of a new version at the time of the release.

For information on how to release a version on a Kanban board, see Deploying a release.


If your team is using the Kanban backlog for your Kanban project, you can use the Versions panel to manage versions.

  1. Navigate to your board.
  2. Click Backlog. If the Versions panel is not showing, click VERSIONS on the left side of the board (aligned vertically) to open it.

    Add a new versionClick Create version (you will need to hover over the 'VERSIONS' panel to show this link), enter the version details, and create it.
    * The Start Date is used to give you a more accurate Version Report in cases where you might plan a version many weeks or even months in advance, but not actually commence work until closer to the release date.
    * The End Date is used to calculate the days remaining in a release on the Release Hub.
    Update a version's detailsFor the version name, click the arrow next to the name, then choose Edit name
    For other fields (e.g. Description), click the field to edit it.
    Add an issue to a versionDrag and drop the issue onto the version in the 'VERSIONS' panel.
    Remove an issue from a versionDrag and drop the issue onto Issues without versions in the 'VERSIONS' panel.
    Filter issues by versionClick the version in the 'VERSIONS' panel to show only issues in that version. Click All issues to remove the filter. Alternatively, click Clear all filters next to the column's name.
