Dismissing Announcements and Read Receipts

Jira users will be presented with Announcement dialogs on the Jira Dashboard, as well as issue details screens.

Each announcement has a "dismiss" button. This allows the user to acknowledge an announcement and mark it as read. Behind the scenes, we note the fact that this user marked an announcement as read, and in the future, don't show this same announcement anymore.

It is possible for users to hit the Escape key on their keyboard to exit out of an announcement. This, however, does not mark the announcement as read, and the user will be presented with the same announcement again when the next screen loads.

 

note:
Users can always view active announcements from the Dashboard gadget, even if they have already marked them as read.

Can I see which user has seen an announcement?

Yes! Take a look at the read receipts page for more details.
