Get started with Jira
New to Jira? Check out our guides for new administrators and users.
You can add shortcuts to the project sidebar that link to information you think your team may find useful. When you add a link, it's available to all users who can access the project.
To add, delete or edit a link, you need to have the Jira Administrator permission or the Project Administrator permission. When adding or editing a link you also need to have the full web address, and you can optionally give it a label that will show in the project navigation sidebar. Labeling the shortcuts makes it easier to identify where the link will take you.
Choose Projects and select a starred or recent project, or choose View all projects and select a project.
Select Shortcuts in the project navigation sidebar.
Enter the web address and name for your shortcut and select Add shortcut.
You must enter a valid web address that is recognized by Jira. These must be prefixed with a valid scheme (or URI scheme).
Valid schemes (or URI schemes) for shortcuts are:
1
http://, https://, mailto:, skype:, callto:, facetime:, git:, irc:, irc6:, news:, nntp:, feed:, cvs:, svn:, mvn:, ssh:, itms:, notes:, smb:, hipchat:
Select Shortcuts in the project navigation sidebar.
Click the edit icon to the right of the shortcut you want to edit.
Do either of the following:
Edit the link details and select Save.
Select Remove shortcut.
