The Atlassian Design Guidelines (ADG) is a public best practice guide for how to design all things Atlassian. As well as being a sneak peek into our inner workings, these are also our best practices for designing products and add-ons that behave consistently for our users. Today, we released Atlassian Design Guidelines 1.1. Our design team has been working for the last couple of months on precision and beauty for altogether new patterns and updates to existing ones. The results will give you a beautiful, consistent experience across the Atlassian suite and the add-on system. As an add-on developer, you can dive into the deep end with the guidelines to guide you along the way. What’s in the release New tables Tables can now be sorted, and inline actions got the consistency treatment. Feature discovery dialog We’ve been using inline dialogs in our products for new feature discovery for some time, now there’s a standard way to implement that pattern. Comments Atlassian uses ‘threaded’ and ‘flat’ designs for comments. We’ve accommodated for both styles and formalised some rules around how to interact with them. Icon font updates The icon font is becoming the standard iconography delivery mechanism for most of our products so this library will grow with every release. We now have 50 icons in the font that are easily reusable by add-on developers. ProTip: Hover the icon for a tooltip with the AUI class and unicode values. Everything else There was so much in this release that we could only list some of the highlights here. Full details are available in the changelog. Log in pattern Badges Typography updates Footer updates Color palette updates Pagination Application header updates Writing style and formats guidelines updates Reveal text pattern …and a heap of bug fixes! We’ll be releasing every 6-8 weeks going forward so expect new patterns real soon! Check it Out
