Issue Action Buttons and More List
In the Cloud, you will notice several buttons and list items have changed or moved to simplify workflow. The edit button has been removed because now you can edit a field directly inline. The More button is now represented as an icon with three dots.

What's new in the Cloud?
The latest Jira updates and features can be found in our digest of Stanford's JIra and Confluence release notes. For a list of all the weekly releases, you can visit the Atlassian blog.
Below are some features that are currently available in the Cloud:
Your work page
The Your work page displays a list of issues assigned to you, your recent or favorite issues, filters, boards, and dashboards. In a search screen, you can navigate back to your previous screen by selecting Go to Your Work page from the Your work drop-down.
After going to the Your work page, you can click the links to view the last Worked on, last Viewed, issues Assigned to Me, or Starred items.
Comments
You can now easily leave comments on Jira issues by using the "Add a comment" field located at the bottom of the page. Additionally, you can copy the comment link for easy sharing.
Pin fields
Within Jira tickets, there is now the option to pin some specific fields to make them easier for you to find. Pinned fields are only visible to you.
Minimized action buttons
Action buttons at the top of the page display only the icons for small screens. For example, the create button changes to a "+" sign for small screens when creating new issues.
