FAQ
Does Filter Hygiene replace broad Jira optimization?
No. It is focused on saved filters, not whole-instance optimization.
Can Optimizer help with filters?
Public Marketplace copy includes filters among several Jira configuration objects it can identify for cleanup.
Why use a focused filter app?
Jira already exposes filters and JQL. Filter Hygiene adds one evidence-led decision path across cleanup need, supported impact, action readiness, preflight, and records.
