I want to configure release notes in confluence from JSM project

[Lakshmi Kumari]

Hi,

I dont see any release notes section in confluence even as an admin.

Below are my requirements:

1. I want to project release notes in confluence from the projects created in JIRA.

2. Additionaly I also want to link the Bugs/Defects ticket to those release notes in confluence 

Could you please provide steps in detail to configure release notes in Confluence?

Regards,

Lakshmi

Hi @Lakshmi Kumari,

Release notes in Confluence would be just a page with text describing what you released and - potentially - a list of issues pertaining to that release.

You can find good examples of what they might loog like over here:

• Jira Software Data Center 9.14 release notes and
• Issues resolved in 9.14 

While these are published to the internet using Scroll Viewport, they are just Confluence pages internally. You write them the way you want and can turn your page in Confluence into a template, so you get a consistent structure and look and feel when you do a next release.

To include resolved issues on a Confluence page, you just add a Jira Macro to the page and use a JQL filter to return the issues linked to the release. Of course, you need to mark the issues in that release (most commonly via the fix version field in Jira).

Hope this helps!
