Linking a Confluence Page to an Epic
If you have linked your JIRA instance to a Confluence instance, you can create and/or link Confluence pages to your epics via JIRA Agile. For example, you may want to link your epic to a specification or design document in Confluence.
Before you begin:
- See Getting Agile Ready with your Atlassian applications for prerequisites.
- These instructions only apply to Scrum boards.
