All the context right where you work

Meet the new global preview panel

Work doesn’t live in just one place. You’re jumping between Jira and Confluence, goals, teams, and projects – often in a sea of tabs. The global preview panel brings all that related context into a single, unified side panel across Jira and Confluence, so you can preview, reference, and act on linked work without losing your place.

How it works

Preview linked work in a unified side panel

Click a Smart Link or related object – like a Jira work item, Confluence page, goal, team, or project – and it opens in a resizable side panel right next to what you’re working on. Whether you’re in list, board, calendar, timeline, or a full-page view, you can quickly glance at the details you need without opening a new tab.

Take action without breaking focus

The preview isn’t just read-only. From the global preview panel, you can comment, edit, update status, or adjust goals and project details directly. That means fewer clicks, fewer tabs, and a lot less context switching as you move work forward.

Get started

The global preview panel has rolled out automatically to Jira and Confluence Cloud – no setup required.

• In Jira or Confluence, click on a Smart Link or related object (like a Jira work item, Confluence page, goal, team, or project).

• The linked content will open in the side panel, where you can resize it, scroll, and take action without leaving your current view.
