Description
View Jira description history and compare versions with visible diffs. Open a Jira issue, go to History, then run the extension. Effortlessly track how Jira issue descriptions evolve over time. Jira stores a full edit history — but it’s hidden, hard to read, and nearly impossible to compare versions. Jira Description History Viewer solves this by adding a clean, readable timeline with side-by-side diffs, letting you instantly see: - what changed - when it changed - who changed it - how each version compares to the previous one Perfect for product managers, QA engineers, analysts, UX researchers, and developers who rely on clear documentation and need full visibility into Jira edits. Key Features - One-click access to the full Description Edit History - Automatic version detection for all description updates - Inline diffs with clean highlighting - Color-coded changes (added / removed / modified text) - Works on all Jira Cloud & Jira Server instances - Zero configuration — starts working as soon as it’s installed - Privacy-friendly — no data is sent anywhere; all processing happens locally - Context menu shortcut for quick access Why This Extension? Jira’s built-in history log is not optimized for reviewing content updates. This extension gives you clarity and control, especially when: - requirements change - descriptions are overwritten - multiple people edit the same issue - you need to verify what exactly changed since the last review Save time and avoid confusion with a dedicated, structured, and beautifully formatted change viewer. Privacy & Security - Your data never leaves your browser. - The extension does not collect, store, or transmit any information to external servers. All diffs and version parsing happen locally.
