TL;DR: You’ll soon be able to create Confluence pages without leaving the Jira issue view! Only Confluence customers will see the option to create Confluence pages directly from the Jira issue view. Connect Confluence to Jira for free to try it out.
Note: This update is not supported on server products.
Update March 13: We've temporarily rolled back the feature to make some improvements before releasing it to general availability by the end of the month. We appreciate your patience!
Hi Community friends 👋! I’m Elsie, a Product Manager on the Confluence Cloud team.
A few months back, we launched the ability to view and edit Confluence pages without leaving your Jira issue, and your response has been incredible! Hundreds of thousands of you have been using the integration to gain context for your tasks and projects.
That’s why today, I’m thrilled to share that by year-end, Confluence and Jira users will also be able to create new Confluence pages without leaving the Jira issue they're working on!
How do I get started?
If you use both Confluence and Jira, you'll find two new 'Create' buttons on the Issue View in Jira Software and Jira Work Management.
To create a Confluence page:
![[Issue View M2] Admin Newsletter Asset.png](https://us.v-cdn.net/6038660/uploads/images/296290i88FF516437090CAD/%5BIssue%20View%20M2%5D%20Admin%20Newsletter%20Asset.png "[Issue View M2] Admin Newsletter Asset.png")
- Click the new 'Create' button below the issue title and choose ‘Page’ from the dropdown menu.
- Or, click the '+' button in the 'Confluence content' section, then select the 'Create in Confluence' link at the bottom. Choose ‘Page’ from the dropdown menu.
After clicking ‘Create,’ a pop-up will guide you to enter a title and select a space or parent page. Then, you can start creating within an embedded Confluence editor with rich editing capabilities!
See it in action 🪄

The same experience applies when you create from the ‘Confluence content’ section:
