As a product manager, I would like to have an overview about the completion status of epics in the backlog. The "Epics" panel in the classic backlog allowed to see progress information such as the count of issues (helpful for teams in Kanban or with noEstimate Scrum), count of completed and unestimated tickets and the total story point estimate. Also, there was a progress bar showing how many of the story points for tickets assigned to this epic were done.
This was extremely helpful when prioritizing features across differen epics for the next sprint, as it allows to quickly grasp which of the running epics (we typically work on multiple epics within a sprint) can be finished.
Finally, the ability to assign tickets to epics via drag and drop on the epic panel was one of the biggest time savers which is no longer available.
I am aware about being able to filter by epics on the "next gen" backlogs and also to assign via the "add to epic" function - but for me the UX here got clearly worse and I have to spend more time doing the same planning than before.

[JSWCLOUD-17564] Next Gen: Create "Epic" panel in backlog
This should be available to you all now

Hi f95a08d473b6,
This feature is being rolled out, so even though it shows on the documentation, not all sites received the update, but it's coming.
For more details: https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/blog/2020/04/atlassian-cloud-changes-apr-13-to-apr-20-2020
Next-gen: Epic panel in backlog ROLLING OUT You can now manage epics on the backlog of your next-gen project via the Epics panel, similar to how epic management works in classic Jira Software projects. Changes you make in the panel on the backlog will reflect on the Roadmap, and vice-versa.
I am a little confused that this doesn't exist because it's written in the documentation as available:
https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/manage-epics-in-next-gen-projects/
It shows an option to enable the Epic Panel, but doesn't seem like it's actually available.
Is this feature only available to specific customers?
I agree . Also it would be nice if we could drag and drop assignee =). I am used to this from trello and keep forgetting that Jira can't do it.
@Eoin: Finally get to say MANY THANKS!
Very helpful - can't wait for the toggle setting to be remembered as indicated in your comment from July 8 on https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Next-gen-articles/Improved-Backlog-planning-in-next-gen-with-the-epic-panel/ba-p/1387675!
