STAGIL Navigation Menus and Themes for Confluence Cloud
how it works
STAGIL Navigation for Jira Cloud consists of:
Navigation menus you configure (folders and links)
a browser extension that displays those menus inside Jira
Without the extension, users will not see your custom navigation.
before you start
make sure the extension is allowed in your browser (some organisations restrict extensions via policy)
decide who owns the menu structure (one admin, or per department)
agree simple naming rules, so menus stay tidy
set up in 10 minutes
Install and enable the STAGIL browser extension.
Open Jira Cloud and confirm the STAGIL navigation entry appears in the sidebar.
Create a new menu (for example, “Work”).
Add a folder and a few links.
Publish your changes.
Ask one colleague to verify it works on their side.
open advanced navigation in Jira
You can open advanced navigation in two ways:
from Jira’s Apps menu entry in the sidebar
using a keyboard shortcut (if enabled in your configuration)
limitations
STAGIL Navigation for Jira Cloud does not add a top navigation bar.
menus are shown in Jira’s sidebar and in the advanced navigation panel only.
the extension must be enabled for each user who needs the navigation.
