I want to have one page in Confluence where I can track all action items across Jira and Confluence. I have already ensure my Jira and Confluence instances are linked through "Application Links" in the administration settings to enable the navigation between platforms but I'm still not seeing the Jira action items in Confluence.

Hello @MARK SULLIVAN 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

To see Jira issues/work items in Confluence you need to add the Jira Macro to a page in Confluence. Refer to this document for information:

@Trudy Claspill , this would still only show the Jira issues? Wouldn't we have to click the issues one by one to view the action items from Jira?

What are you referring to as "action items"?

I interpreted the original post to use the term "action items" in Jira to mean "issues" in Jira.

Looking at the timeline, you could be right. However, Atlassian recently rolled out 'Action items' in Jira: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-articles/Introducing-Action-items-in-Jira/ba-p/2876018

Hence my follow-up question :)

Good question!

I just added a comment to that post to ask!

@Trudy Claspill I agree with you. Action items in Jira, in my opinion, are useless if you can't have them all in one place and track their progress. I use action items in Confluence a lot, and having them centralized makes them a powerful task management tool.
