Atlassian Cloud Changes and how to work with them in the future

Keeping up with the changes that are done in the Atlassian Cloud products is a full-time job it seems, but in the Atlassian Product Update database I do my best to get things a bit more organized and easier to follow. Today I made a few changes to the database and updated the fields a bit. These changes also impact the work to update the database, and I am now adding these new steps to my daily routine.

The biggest change I have done is to split out the New This Week status as a Yes/No toggle and adding a link to the Atlassian Product change items. The New This Week is only viable for one week and every Wednesday they need to be removed to make room for new ones from the Atlassian Cloud Changes list. I have made this toggle visible when viewing the item itself, which makes it super easy to update.

The link to the Atlassian Product Change take you directly into the Product Update object in your Jira Administration. This is for convenience for those who want to check the object itself. It also make it easier for me to follow up on things in case I want to double-check something, or refer to the actual update.

My daily routine now will include to go over the daily updates and add them to the Atlassian Product Update database. Then every week I will go through all entries in the Atlassian Cloud Changes to make sure they are updated properly in the database. This will then provide me a nice list of the latest updates that I can use when making my weekly videos.
