Learn how to set up Jira Software Cloud and integrate it with other products and applications.
If your administrator has connected Jira Software to a compatible release tool, a releases panel will be displayed on the View Issue screen. Depending on which tools Jira Software is connected to, the releases panel provides the following functionalities:
Bitbucket Cloud: view Pipelines deployments. (view and create branches, view commits, and view and create pull requests are shown on the development panel)
LaunchDarkly or Rollout: Status of the releases (number of feature flags, enabled status, percentage of customers, and which have rules applied.
Your administrator needs to have set up Jira Software and your development tools correctly. Refer your administrator to Integrating with development tools.

When everything has been set up correctly, you'll see a releases panel on your issues, similar to the screenshot below.
