Hi @Naveena, on Cloud you can do this natively, no app needed: Jira release pages are Smart Link embeddable in Confluence. Open the release in Jira, copy the URL from the address bar, paste it onto your Confluence page, and choose Embed so it renders the live release view instead of a plain link. You can resize it on the page. One catch worth knowing up front: whoever opens that page still needs a Jira license and access to the project, otherwise the embed falls back to just a link.

That embeds one release at a time. For an at-a-glance view of what is released versus not across projects on the same dashboard, the Jira issues macro is the better fit: add it with a JQL such as fixVersion in unreleasedVersions() for pending work and fixVersion in releasedVersions() for shipped, and you can scope it per project. That shows the status through the issues rather than the versions list itself.

If what you actually want is a clean table of the versions themselves, name, release date, released or not, without the issues, Confluence has no native macro for that, so that specific view would need a Marketplace app.

Atlassian's walkthrough of the release embed is here: Add Jira release views into your Confluence pages.

I dont see embed option in my confluence page, so i used JQL for released and added summary and other required columns on to the page, Thanks!

Hi @Naveena Tati ,

Just to quickly add on what German said, I've seen people do the following: 

1. Navigate to Release in Jira
2. At the Work item panel/section, select View in All work navigator
3. Copy the URL from the newly opened tab
4. Paste/embed the URL in Confluence

I mean, it would get you to the same point as if you'd configure Jira Work items macro from scratch.

Apart from that, you could use Jira Space Releases with Team Calendars to display releases in calendar view (within Confluence directly).

Could be helpful in a way, I guess. 👀

Cheers,
Tobi
