# Enhancements

## Transition to Forge

**JMWE for Jira Cloud** has moved to Atlassian Forge! The overall functionality and experience within JMWE remains the same, with a few small differences. See [JMWE is moving to Atlassian Forge](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/3708780578) for details on what’s changed. 

> 📝 **Connect End of Support**:
> 📝 
> 📝 - Atlassian has <u>[announced](https://www.atlassian.com/blog/developer/announcing-connect-end-of-support-timeline-and-next-steps)</u> the end of support for the Connect framework by the end of 2026.
> 📝 - Appfire recommends upgrading JMWE app to the Forge version to stay current with future enhancements and security updates.

**Rollout schedule**

The new version will automatically roll out to customers over the next few days or weeks. Atlassian manages the deployment schedule across all instances.

### Upgrade to Forge manually

You can also upgrade manually if you want. To upgrade the app to the Forge version, you need Jira administrative privileges.

1. Navigate to **Apps** > **Manage apps**.
2. Under *Connected apps, *JMWE will display an **Update** label if the update has been made available to your organization. Click **View app details**.
3. To upgrade the app, click **Accept & update**.
4. The *Confirm app update* dialog opens. Click **Update**.

> ⚠️ The app uses different domains to serve content on Forge. If you have restrictive firewall or proxy settings, your network administrator needs to allowlist certain domains to ensure JMWE continues to work as expected. 
> ⚠️ 
> ⚠️ Make sure to allowlist:
> ⚠️ 
> ⚠️ - `*.atlassian-dev.net` (including all subdomain levels)
> ⚠️ 
> ⚠️ See also <u>[Atlassian's IP addresses and domains](https://support.atlassian.com/organization-administration/docs/ip-addresses-and-domains-for-atlassian-cloud-products/)</u> documentation for complete details and follow all Atlassian recommendations.
