Use smart links to view projects in Confluence

Many teams use Confluence pages to showcase their work. If you're familiar with Jira, you've likely used the Jira issue macro or Smart Links. By simply pasting a Jira issue link on a Confluence page, you can see the issue's name and status. You can use the same behavior with Atlassian Home projects and display project names and statuses directly on a Confluence page.

While some teams prefer adding sections under links for additional details, your comprehensive project homepage in Atlassian Home eliminates that need. A compact way to display links is by placing them in a table or inline in a sentence in Confluence. Viewers can redirect to your project's page in Atlassian Home, seeing the status next to the project name and accessing the project's status feed by selecting the name.

Viewing Atlassian Home projects in Confluence

To add a project’s link to a Confluence page;

1. In your Atlassian Home, copy the project URL from the browser or use the project’s Share button.

2. Paste the link onto your Confluence page.

Link permissions

Smart links ensure that only authorized users can view linked content. If you paste a project’s URL on a Confluence page not part of your instance, users without permission will see the URL instead of the project or goal name. This feature prevents unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Use labels to link multiple projects

You can use a label to link several projects at once.

1. In your Atlassian Home projects, label the projects you're interested in putting on your page if you haven't already labeled them.

2. Select the label to go to the label page.

3. Copy the label page's URL. Paste it on your Confluence page.

4. Select the smart link to modify it, and switch from the default "Display as link" to "Display embed"

Similarly, you can view Confluence links as a smart link in your Atlassian Home. Just copy and paste a Confluence page’s URL into an Atlassian project or a goal’s update, comment or anywhere else.
