Is there a plan to add docs in the future?

Docs would be great in Jira! All the competitors have it.

Hi Donald, welcome to the Community.

What do you mean by Docs? Atlassian offers Confluence, an advanced wiki product.

@Donald MacEntire , I'm not sure I've ever heard of plans for this (not that there aren't). But the docs or documentation end Jira is best supported with Confluence.

You can easily create a Confluence page for all related documentation and then add a link to the Jira ticket. A few advantages to this method:

• All documentation is stored in a specific location making searching, and organization easier.
• Documents can easily be linked to a Jira issue. In fact, many documents could be linked to a jira issue. The Jira issues are also added as links to the Confluence document making bi-directional travel easy.
• Confluence is a better collaboration space for documentation and support a full history of changes and updates to that document.

If you haven't tried this approach before, I encourage you to do so. It really does work well.

Here is a Blog article that highlights these advantages and more!
