New content menu layout breaks add-on menu links

Confluence Development Confluence Cloud

I don’t know if this is only appearing on ecosystem beta instances, but my development site has a new content menu layout:

41

Unfortunately, it is breaking add-on menu links. In the screenshot above, both the “Slack Notifications” and “Feature” links are broken. When you click on them, depending on the user context, you fall through to an empty JIRA page with an error flag or JSD portal.

I can’t find anything about this change being documented anywhere so far. But since it has also broken the “Slack Notifications” menu link, I suspect it’s not intentional. Hopefully, this isn’t being rolled out across production sites.

We are seeing the order of these menu items moving around in unexpected ways, though the links still work for us so far. We are going to investigate on our EAP servers and will post back if we find anything broken in the way you describe though.

EDIT: When I tried the Slack Notifications link, we got the dreaded “something went wrong” flag in the lower left. No other details shown in the dev console.

Someone else has noticed this problem too… Pre-release version significantly impacts ability to position items in page menu

I did raise a ticket with support over the weekend, but haven’t made much progress yet.

Hi community. This issue should have been fixed. Please confirm. Thank you for your prompt feedback, @james.dellow!

This is a pre-release to the Ecosystem Beta testing sites and is scheduled to be rolled out to customers starting next Monday.

An announcement on this change will be coming soon to the community.

Yes, the links appear to be working now.
Was a notice about this change sent to Ecosystem Beta testing sites that I missed?

@james.dellow and all, I just made the community announcement here: Upcoming UI update to the page overflow menu in Confluence Cloud

There wasn’t a notice sent to Ecosystem Beta testing sites. We normally announce it in Confluence Cloud Announcements - The Atlassian Developer Community around the same time the change goes out to Ecosystem Beta sites. This time the community post went out later than normal (still before customer release though).

Is there a different form of notice you were expecting?
