Create custom links

You can add custom links in the Switch to menu to make it easier for users to navigate to frequently used information with fewer clicks. You can also customize the links that appear and restrict certain links to specific users and/or groups.

Add links to the application navigator

1. Choose  > Configure.
2. Create links by entering a name and the URL on the page. The links will appear across all cloud products after a few minutes. 
3. Optionally, enter team names to the Restricted to Groups field to restrict usage of the link.

When you make a link visible for a specific group, the link visibility is only set up in the product where you are configuring the link. For example, if you change the visibility in the Jira administration screen and you also want it to be visible to the same users in Confluence, you must make the same changes in the Confluence administration settings.

To modify links that were created and are managed in other products (for example, in a different Jira product), click Configure to edit the link in that product. You cannot delete links to linked products.

Add Jira project links

You may want to add links to related Confluence spaces from a Jira project. These appear in a pop-up window that opens when you click the project avatar in a Jira product or in Confluence. Since these links are project-specific, you can set them up to provide shortcuts for pages a project team uses frequently. For example, you can add links to a Jira filter, a Jira Software board, or a project planning page on Confluence. If you use Confluence, these links will appear in the space logo for any space associated with a project.

To add links for your team:

1. Choose  > Jira.
2. Choose .
3. Select the project you want to add links for.
4. In the Settings section, click Configure Project Links.
5. Choose Add Link at the top-right of the page.
6. Enter the required information and click Create.
