Create links in the app navigator
You can add custom links in the app navigator, to make it easier for users to navigate to frequently used information.
What is the app navigator?
The app navigator displays a menu of links to other apps. It's only displayed to users if there is more than one link. You can customize the links that appear in the app navigator, as well as making certain links only visible to specific users.
Adding links to the app navigator
If apps are linked to your Jira instance via app links, those apps will automatically appear in the app navigator. If you don't have any apps linked, the app navigator icon will appear only for administrators. After you've set up some links, the app navigator icon will automatically be visible to all users.
Choose > Edit (under the SWITCH TO heading).
Create links by entering a name and the URL on the page.
After you've created a link, it will appear in the app navigator for all your apps after a few minutes (up to 10). Or, if you want links to appear immediately, you can navigate to the app navigator administration page in each app and refresh the page.
If you want to make a link appear in the app navigator for only specific users, use the Groups box to specify which groups can see the link. To hide the link from all users, select the Hide checkbox (for example, if you want to temporarily hide the link without deleting it entirely).
When you make a link visible for a specific group, the link visibility is only set up in the app where you are configuring the link. For example, if you change the visibility in the Jira administration screen and you also want it to be visible to the same users in Confluence, you must make the same changes in the Confluence administration settings.
To modify links that were created and are managed in other apps (for example, in a different Jira app), edit the link in that app. You cannot delete links to linked apps, you must delete the app link instead.
