Data Blurring

Where visibleAll Jira pages (boards, issues, search, backlog, settings)
Settings apply toOnly for you

Purpose

Hide readable text and blur images across Jira for screen sharing, presentations, or demos — layout stays intact while content becomes illegible.

How to configure

Where to find settings

  1. On any Jira page where the extension is active, right-click the page (or use the browser's page context menu).
  2. Find the extension entry «Blur secret data».

How to configure

  • «Blur secret data»: toggle the checkbox — checked = blur on, unchecked = blur off.

There is no switch in the board settings panel. The setting persists across page loads and new tabs.

How to use

  • When enabled, text on Jira pages is replaced with a smudge effect — content is unreadable but layout remains unchanged.
  • Images are blurred to prevent visual information disclosure.
  • The effect applies to boards, backlogs, issue views, search results, and parts of settings screens.
  • Turn blur off from the same context menu item when you are done presenting or sharing your screen.

Usage scenarios

  • Screen sharing: Share your Jira board during meetings without exposing sensitive issue titles, keys, or descriptions.
  • Presentations: Present workflow or process information while keeping specific issue details confidential.
  • Demo recordings: Record product demos with real data but without revealing actual content.
  • Public displays: Use Jira on a projector or shared screen without compromising data privacy.

Troubleshooting

  • Blur not applying: Ensure the context menu checkbox is checked. Try toggling it off and on again. Reload the page if needed.
  • Some text still readable: The blur effect is applied via CSS. Some Jira elements rendered in iframes or shadow DOM may not be fully covered.
  • Blur persists after disabling: Reload the page. The setting is read from localStorage on page load.
  • Images not blurred: The feature targets commonly blurred image elements. Some dynamically loaded images may not be immediately affected.
