Hi @Scott Ocamb ,

  Are you trying to display the source page from another space on your other space's navigation? If so, you would need to create a blank page, title it accordingly, add the {include page macro, then add the source page into the macro.

  • Think of this as an iframe on your page
  • You would not be duplicating content

If you are trying to create a link to a page, you would highlight text on an new page, click the link icon in the tool bar, then search for the source page. 

Hope this helps!

- Jonathan

@Scott Ocamb  Another easy solution is to grab the URL of the desired page and add it as a space shortcut. 

  • The 'link' would not appear in your page navigation, but more so within your shortcuts section.

I want it to be in the Pages view in Jira. I see how to create new pages, but I want to link to an existing one.

Is your JIRA project connected to your desired Confluence space? 

In my test, all of my space's pages appear in the 'JIRA pages' page.

After your JIRA project is linked to Confluence, go to your task/ticket, click the page icon, then link to existing page.

I see what is happening, The space Overview page is not showing up in Jira but the other pages do. The overview page is like my home page and it would be nice if that showed up too.

Thanks for your help

Where do you want the link to appear?

in Confluence use the Anchor macro. If you want to have a link to you page within a Jira project use the Add item option in the sidebar.
