Solution

  • The popup will show 5 times for a user, and this is stored locally (in the browser storage) so if the same user works on another computer or browser then they may see the popup again.

  • As it's a modal dialogue, that opens within the same window / tab, pop-up blockers should not block it.

  • It will only appear if there is an Application Link configured with Confluence.
