What you are seeing

The Getting started view keeps coming back.

#Why it happens

Getting started opens first until you click View markdown, and that choice is remembered in your browser, not on your Jira account.

#What to do

Click View markdown once per browser. Getting started returns in a new browser, a private window, or after clearing site data.

#Settings involved

Where

What it does

Getting started / List view

Apps > Capable Markdown > two icon buttons in the header

Switches between the welcome view and the list for now. Only View markdown stops Getting started opening first.

#A few things that catch people out

  • Switching to the list with the header button does not count; next time the page opens on Getting started again.

Found it? Good.
