8. Create epics.

...

This has been achieved with the below new features.

Build and view mode

When viewing an initiative by default the icons used to build/edit the initiative will not be visible.

...

1. Epics can only be moved in the same column, this means that Epics can only be moved to other releases within the same Activity.

2. If an Epic is dragged and dropped into a release group, users will be presented with a popup to select the original release the Epic will go into.

3. Epics can not can’t be moved into a release if the current Epic Epic’s Activity does not exist in the destination Story Map the destination release is in.

4. Currently, Epics can not can’t be moved if they have integration links. This restriction will be lifted in a later update.

5. Epics can’t be moved in or out of Story Maps where the user doesn’t have edit access.

6. Epics can’t be moved in or out of completed releases.

Viewing story maps

The Story Maps that are in an Initiative can now be more easily viewed either via the Story Maps list icon

...

Or the goal Icon in the release.
