Open Glass Documentation

Users with can access Project Configuration Documentation from the project sidebar menu, by clicking on the Glass Documentation menu:

Export as Confluence Page

Click on Export as on the top right corner, select Confluence from the dropdown menu:

Before exporting, you can select which content would you include into the export. This can be useful when you want to export every issue type as a page, or just don't need every detail at the moment.

There are two different ways to export:

  • CREATE - new documentation as a child page

  • UPDATE - existing documentation

User can choose

  • The Confluence Instance which has a valid Application Link to your Jira

  • The Confluence Space within the instance, where the export will take place

  • The Confluence Page

    • to which the child page will be created

    • which will be updated

  • The Page Title - the name of the created / updated page

Note that private spaces not supported at the moment.

Note that CREATE operation creates a page as a child page, under the selected Confluence Page, while UPDATE operation actually updates the selected Confluence page with new Title and Content.

The exported page contains all the information available with Glass Documentation - in Jira:

In Jira Cloud, the export progress can be followed step by step.

Page Properties Report

Pro Tip - Use Confluence’s Page Properties Report to quickly overview all exported Documents!

All exported pages come with a label: glass-jira-project-documentation and a hidden page property macro with the most important data of your project.

After you have exported some pages with Glass, create a new page in your Confluence and insert Page Properties Report macro, with the following settings. (Only the label is necessary for this report, so you can create cross-space overview as well).

When the macro is inserted, this page becomes an automatically updated page with all your project configurations. You can easily overview project complexity by comparing workflows, issue types, and People in the project.

To be able to successfully export to Confluence, a Confluence instance must be connected through a valid . This can be set by a Jira Administrator.

In Jira Cloud, only one export can be run per user and project simultaneously. If an export is already running but the user clicked out of the Export Status screen, it is possible to rejoin or abort the export by clicking on the Export button again.
