Link multiple knowledge sources to a knowledge base

You can link more than one knowledge source to a Jira Service Management knowledge base. This lets your help center, knowledge base search, and Virtual Service Agent use content from native Confluence spaces, cross-site Confluence spaces, and third-party folders at the same time.

If you want to link third-party folders, set up the connector first. See Connect third-party knowledge sources for customer service agents.

  • A Confluence space on the same site

  • A Confluence space on a different site in the same organization

  • A specific folder within a Confluence space, instead of the whole space. See Link a Confluence folder to your knowledge base.

  • A third-party folder, such as a Google Drive or SharePoint folder

Before you begin

  • You need admin access to manage the knowledge base.

  • For third-party folders, complete the connector setup first.

  • For a Confluence space on a different site, the sites must be in the same organization and you need the required space access.

  1. Go to KB Settings.

  2. Select Confluence or 3p Sources.

  3. Link the spaces.

Manage linked sources

After a source is linked, its articles appear in the Articles tab. You can unlink a source one at a time or unlink several sources at once.

Where linked content appears

  • The Articles tab

  • Help center search

  • Virtual Service Agent search

After you link a source, it can take a few seconds before the content appears in search.
