Atlassian is <span style="color: #172b4d">making changes to Jira Cloud to provide users with more control over their profile information - both in response to recent changes to data privacy legislation (i.e. GDPR) and as part of a broader effort to improve customer trust. These efforts include </span>[**<span style="color: #172b4d">major breaking changes</span>**](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/deprecation-notice-user-privacy-api-migration-guide/)[<span style="color: #172b4d"> to the Jira REST API</span>](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/deprecation-notice-user-privacy-api-migration-guide/)<span style="color: #172b4d"> on top of which all apps, including JMWE for Jira Cloud, are built.</span>

<span style="color: #172b4d">Despite our best efforts to makes the changes transparent to our customers, </span>**<span style="color: #172b4d">they</span>**<span style="color: #172b4d"> </span>**<span style="color: #172b4d">will have an impact on your workflows</span>**<span style="color: #172b4d">, and</span>**<span style="color: #172b4d"> you will need to make changes to some of the JMWE workflow post-functions you have configured</span>**<span style="color: #172b4d">.</span>

## **Automatically find and fix post-functions affected by Atlassian's GDPR changes**

Our new **GDPR Migration Tool **helps you identify and implement the changes required by Atlassian's GDPR updates. It:

- Offers a one-click migration option that applies *some* of the required changes automatically;
- Lists all the JMWE post-functions in your workflows that require changes;
- Allows you to edit these post-functions directly from the tool.

The GDPR Migration Tool is available from the Apps section of the Jira admin. You can also navigate to it via *<Your base URL>/plugins/servlet/ac/com.innovalog.jmwe.jira-misc-workflow-extensions/gdpr-checker.*
