Use this interactive demo to learn how to update and save Jira board settings in minutes.

Quick summary

Editing a Jira board lets you update board details such as the board name and other settings directly from the Boards view. You can access Edit Settings in just a few clicks using the More Actions menu on any board.


Steps

  1. On Jira's main home page, go to the top navigation bar and click the search bar.
  2. Choose Boards from the available tabs to view all your boards.
  3. Find the board you want to edit, then click the More Actions button next to it.
  4. Select Edit Settings from the list of options in the dropdown menu.
  5. Click on the field you want to update, then type a new value or choose from the available options.
  6. Confirm your changes — the Jira board details will be updated and a success confirmation will appear.

📌 Why this matters

Editing a Jira board's details — such as its name and settings — helps teams keep their project workspaces accurate, organized, and aligned with evolving workflows. Jira board configuration directly affects how work is tracked, filtered, and prioritized across sprints and projects. Quick access to board settings via the More Actions menu reduces friction for project admins and scrum masters managing multiple boards. Keeping board details current ensures every team member works from a consistent, up-to-date source of truth in Jira Software.
