INSERTING LINKS TO YOUR WHITEBOARD

Add more context to your whiteboarding sessions using links and Smart Links. You
can link to content outside of whiteboards, Jira issues, Confluence pages, or
your favorite cloud apps and websites.

Here are three different ways to insert links into your whiteboards.


URLS

Add links as URLs:

 1. Go to the page for the link you want to use.

 2. Copy the URL.

 3. Paste the URL on the whiteboard wherever you want it to appear.


SMART LINKS

Smart Links are a richer way of hyperlinking from your favorite cloud apps and
websites. They provide important context about the link without you needing to
leave a whiteboard.

Not all links are supported by Smart Links. When a link is not supported, you
will see the link be inserted onto the whiteboard as a plain URL.


SMART LINK DISPLAY

In whiteboards, there are two different ways to display Smart Links:

 * Display card



The card view is a simplified view of the link’s content. It will generally show
a brief summary of the link and its most important data. For example, for a Jira
issue, you will see the issue type, issue key, issue summary, status, and the
number of comments.

 * Display embed



An embed is the richest Smart Link view. It provides you with an interactive
preview of the link’s content. For example, an embedded view of a Google Slide
shows a slide deck that you can navigate through. Some links, like YouTube
videos, can default to the embed view when you add them to a whiteboard.


SWITCH BETWEEN SMART LINK DISPLAYS



Not all Smart Links have an embedded view. If possible you can switch from a
card view to an embed using the floating toolbar.

 1. Select the Smart Link you’d like to change the display of.

 2. Choose which display you’d like for the Smart Link.


PREVIEW A SMART LINK



If a Smart Link has an embed, you can see an expanded view of it by clicking on
the Preview button in the floating toolbar.


EMBED YOUR WHITEBOARD INTO JIRA, CONFLUENCE, AND TRELLO

Easily embed ideas and add visualization to your workflows by embedding a
whiteboard Smart Link to project posters, product roadmaps, kanban boards, and
more.

 

To embed your whiteboard:

 1. Copy the link to a whiteboard.

 2. Paste it into a Confluence page, Jira board, or Trello card.

 3. Select Embed as the view state in the floating toolbar.




SMART LINK PERMISSIONS

Smart Links respect the permissions of a link. If a link has permissions for who
can and can’t see the link’s content, you may need to authenticate yourself.

For any Smart Link that requires authentication, you will see a message in the
Smart Link asking for you to authenticate. Select through the authentication
flow to preview the Smart Link.

If you’ve already authenticated for the Smart Link of an app (e.g. Google Docs)
in another Atlassian product, you won’t have to authenticate it again in
whiteboards.


IMPORT JIRA ISSUES

The Jira issue import dialog lets you search for and insert single or multiple
Jira issue links into your whiteboard. You can import from the cloud versions of
Jira Software, Jira Work Management, Jira Service Management, and Jira Product
Discovery.
