A link for every audience. Give a work item or board up to 10 links, each with its own content, look, password and expiry. Turning one off leaves the others working. Learn more
Know when your link is opened. See how often each link was opened, and when, right in the share window. Learn more
Comments from viewers. The people you share with can comment without a Jira account, and their comments arrive on the work item in Jira. Learn more
A look for every audience. Choose a theme: Jira, Report for clients, Portal for customers, Wallboard for an office TV, or Embed for another website. Add your own accent color. Learn more
Preview as viewer. See exactly what your viewers will see before you send the link. Learn more
Shared pages that feel like Jira. Boards with your own columns, sprint and backlog, a side panel for any card, dark mode and a layout for phones. Learn more
For admins: by default, only a link's creator can now change it. Projects that can be shared now covers every kind of link. Review both on the Sharing Policy tab. Learn more

Share saved filters. Share any saved filter as a live table, with the columns you choose, search, sorting and an optional CSV download. Learn more
Links that expire. Let a link stop working after a day, a week, a month or on a date you pick. Admins can set a default for every new link. Learn more
Choose the fields viewers see. Pick which fields appear on a shared work item, custom fields included. Learn more
For admins: filter links work once you choose which spaces can be shared. Learn more
