Introducing Team links: Centralize all your team's key resources in one place!

[#1]

Hey team 👋

Earlier in the year, we released the ability to connect your team to Jira projects and Confluence spaces, whereby they will show up in your team profile . Now you can add any web link!

📢 With Team links, add any web link, Jira project, Confluence space, or Loom space to your team profile - making it the go-to hub for everything your team needs.

What’s changing?

Previously, you may have seen a 'links' section at the bottom of the team profile illustrated below:

We've merged this with our new 'team links' section - a single, unified section in your team profile where you can connect all the places your team works, whether it's Atlassian tools or not. 

Why you'll love this feature

💎 Effortlessly find your team’s work, wherever it lives.

Centralize all your team's key resources in one place. No more hunting through browser bookmarks or old emails. Add links to your team's Slack channels, Google Drive folders, Figma files, or any tool your team relies on. 

Everything is one click away!

🚀 Make onboarding and collaboration easier

New team members can instantly see where your team works and what tools you use. Non-team members can quickly understand your team's scope and find the right resources themselves. 

Currently, you can connect up to 10 total links and anyone can make these connections. 

How to use team links

1. Go to your team profile page.

2. Go to the 'team links' section. 

3. Click `+` and select 'web link' in the dropdown to connect any link such as your team's Slack channel URL.

4. You can add up to 10 links - anyone on the team can do it!

FAQ

What happened to the links that were already connected to my team (i.e. in the 'links' section)?

If your team had existing links connected in the legacy 'links' section, we've kept these links but simply moved it to the new 'team links' section. 

How many links can I add to my team?

You can connect a maximum of 10 links to the 'team links' section. 

I had links connected to my team already and it was more than 10, what happens?

If your team had existing links already and it exceeded 10 links, your links will still show up but you cannot add more links. We recommend you edit or remove some links if they are no longer up-to-date. 

As always, let me know when you try it out and comment below if you have any feedback or ideas 🙏 Appreciate you all being a part of this group and constantly helping us improve Teams!

Hi, Can the "Team" field be added to work item security scheme? It will save me/users one step.

Hey @Justin Chan ,

Apologies for the late response here. Please tag me next time so I can respond quicker 🙏

Thank you for the feedback and question!

Unfortunately, not at the moment, no but there are other quality of life improvements we are looking to address within Jira.

Happy to hear your use case if you believe this is something that should be on our radar.

Hi @April Chi .

Are there any plans to increase the link limit for Teams to a Jira project? We have some projects with more than 500 users, so 15 teams doesn't cut it for us. Ideally, the limit would be more like 100+.

Hey @Josh ,

Thanks for the feedback and thanks for reaching out! We don't have plans for this yet but I'm starting to hear this feedback a lot. 

I've made a suggestion ticket in jira.atlassian.com here.

If you're interested in this feature, would appreciate if you could vote for it and write a short sentence explaining your use case i.e. what links are you connecting to your teams? why are you connecting these links, what do you use it for? and why there is a need to increase the number of links?

Once again, appreciate the feedback 🙏

[Josh]

Hi @April Chi . Thanks for creating the suggestion on our behalf! I just left a comment over there.

[April Chi]

Amazing, thank you for the feedback @Josh ! I'll share this with my team. Appreciate the details use cases, this will help us a lot.

Once again, it's not on radar at the moment but I'll comment in that ticket ifI have any new updates.
