Zoho Projects - Q2 Updates | 2025

Hello Users,

With this year's second quarter behind us, Zoho Projects is marching towards expanding its usability with a user-centered, more collaborative, customizable, and automated attribute.
But before we chart out plans for what’s next, it’s worth reflecting on the advancements we’ve already achieved. Here is a highlight of Zoho Projects' progress in Q2.
  • Import from JIRA
This enhancement enables users to import bugs from Jira Cloud or Jira Server (self-hosted) as tasks into Zoho Projects to manage tasks without interruption. Read more

  • Task Scheduled Export
Task Export was previously a manual process but last quarter we made scheduling exports possible. Now, users can export tasks with specific task views, formats, and filters. They can also set the export to repeat once, daily, weekly, or monthly. Read more

  • Lookup Field for Task Layouts
This update enables users to associate the fields from the project module with tasks. This works for both default as well as custom fields. Read more

  • Color Palette for Status
Work status can now be made more categorized and recognizable for users with a full color palette to color-code the Status field across all modules. With more color options, teams can use specific colors to highlight their work progress.

  • Profiles Permissions New UI
Granting access permissions to profiles for authorized actions is made more simple and elaborate with the new Profile Permissions UI. With individual Module, Portal, Fields, Settings, Integrations, and Others permissions, admins and managers can monitor every action and grant access to users with the required profile in the project. Read more


To wrap up the list of Q2 progress,the current version of these features is just a starting point. More enhancements and fine-tuning of all available features based on your feedback, and future updates are on the way.
