Atlassian's Jira is a favourite tool (especially) for software development teams because of its flexibility to accommodate various use cases. The APIs & underlying frameworks allow for easy extension of Jira features. There is a burgeoning ecosystem of apps (previously add-ons, plugins) owing to this extensibility. 

UpRaise apps make use of the APIs available, to integrate with Jira seamlessly. It can not only insert its pages within Jira but also tightly couple with entities available in Jira such as projects, issues, users, sprints, and many more. Framework for development is different for Data center & Cloud add-ons, resulting in a few differences in the behavior of the two. These differences in some cases are purely technical whereas in others have a functional impact.

Disable UpRaise app/s

You can enable or disable UpRaise add-on/s by navigating to Manage apps section of Jira. Disabling the app makes its features unavailable in Jira, but it doesn't remove the app. Disabling the app is sometimes useful for troubleshooting Jira problems.
