Every Jira issue keeps a diary. Status flips, priority bumps, reassignments, edited specs — Jira writes all of it down. The problem is reading it back: the built-in history turns a description edit into one unhelpful line, and "who changed this?" across forty issues becomes forty clicks or a REST script. This guide covers three ways to actually read Jira issue history, from the free built-in tab to field-level diffs and a cross-issue CSV report.
