Managing project shortcuts
Project shortcuts let you quickly open frequently used or important links from the project sidebar. You can add shortcuts to web pages and online information that you think your team may find useful. These shortcuts will be available to all users who can access the project.
- Project shortcuts: sidebar section where all shortcuts are located
- Add shortcut: create a new shortcut for the project
- Actions menu: manage the existing shortcuts
Before you begin
To add, delete or edit a shortcut, you must have the Jira adminstrator or the Project administrator permission. Learn more about permissions in Jira
