Work’n It: What I Love About Using Jira with Confluence

[Summer.Hogan]

I use Jira and Confluence together every day and there are many integrations between the two tools that are so helpful! Here are some of my favorites:

• Create Jira issues directly from Confluence - I was so excited recently when I saw this was released. I am constantly in Confluence and now when I need to create a Jira issue I don't even have to leave Confluence to do so! You can find more information about this here. 
• Release Notes Feature in Jira - Same with this feature; I was so excited recently when I saw this was released. This saves me tons of time as I used to write out release notes manually and now Jira and Confluence do it for you. You can find more information about this here. 
• Jira Links in Confluence and Confluence Links in Jira - I love the linking up between Jira and Confluence. When viewing a confluence page that has been linked in a Jira ticket, it will show up at the top of the page. Same in Jira; when viewing a Jira ticket there is a section under Linked issues that shows linked Confluence pages. 
• Switching between Jira and Confluence in one click - Using the Switch to button at the top of any Atlassian product, you can switch between Atlassian tools. If I am in confluence and need to switch to Jira Software or Trello I can in one click! 

So those are my favs...what are yours? I'm always looking for new shortcuts and would love if you would share some with me!

The first link is broken. Maybe you meant https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/resources/guides/extend-functionality/confluence-jira#add-jira-issues

Coming from the server side I was surprised you mentioned it was released recently

I am looking forward to the day my team's Jira project is set up. We use Confluence now and will welcome  the integration.
