Embed Jira Roadmaps on Confluence pages with Smart Links

[#1]

Hi Community!

I’m Jonno, a Product Manager for the editor in our Cloud products. I’m here to announce an exciting editor improvement we’ve been working on to further extend the value of Smart Links and the Jira+Confluence integration. Embeds for Jira Roadmaps!

Jira Roadmaps provide you a simple way to define a plan of action for what your team will work on, and when. Historically, we’ve offered a Jira Roadmap macro in the Confluence editor. This allowed for a simple embeddable view of the roadmap. With the new Smart Link embed for Jira Roadmaps, you can now do so much more to share your team's plan in Confluence, and get everyone on the same page.

To insert a roadmap, simply paste a link to your Jira Roadmap on your Confluence page. You can also type “/Jira Roadmap” to search for your roadmap, without leaving the editor.

You’re able to quickly insert an embeddable roadmap and resize it to best fit your page.

There are times where an embedded roadmap that takes a chunk of your page just doesn’t make sense. Instead, you can display a small preview of the roadmap with the Card view of the Smart Link. In the case you want an even more subtle approach, toggle your Smart Link to Inline view.

The new Jira Roadmap Smart Link is currently available when editing pages in Confluence. Soon, you can also add them to your comments and in Jira (when you have the new editor).

Note! This is currently rolling out so if you don't see it yet, it should be coming in the next few weeks. Keep an eye out for more Smart Links updates and let us know what you think below!

Hi Jonno, when will this 9 year old issue be expected to be implemented? (https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CLOUD-6999)

Very Exciting!!

The confluence newsletter mentions embedding figma files in confluence and sends me to this link - I don't see any mention of figma on this page, and I can't find any figma macros on confluence cloud itself. Any info?

@martin check this link out.

Hi, are we able to write about this on our website or is this information embargoed?

Hi can this be used with a marketplace app like Easy Agile Roadmaps? Would be cool if they could be directly linked instead of PDF download then a re-adding PDF with a macro.

Premium should have this for Advanced Roadmaps... hence "Advanced"
