In many occasions when using JIRA and Confluence together, teams will often refer to the same documents\attachments, which can end up generating duplicated content.  Content such as screenshots, customer requirement documentation, or third-party contracts. Share It allows Confluence users to create a unique link for attachments that will always point the latest version of the document or file. This link can then be used to share attachments between your Confluence and JIRA instances.

Step-by-step guide

1. Create a Public Link for your Confluence Attachment

First, you will need to generate a public link from your Confluence instance. Go to your list of attachments (see below), and click on the Share It icon (Share column) to get your link. For the current example, we are generating a public link for the new Share It logo.

Now, with the link copied into your clipboard, access your JIRA instance and open any issue.  We'll use our Confluence attachment here:

In this example, we want to show the new Share It logo within a comment.  Click in "External Image" (JIRA < 7.0), or add the following:

Sample external image
!http://example.com/image.png!
Sample external image thumbnail
!http://example.com/image.png|thumbnail!

The next step is to replace the sample external image with our public link:

3. Stop Messing Up with your Documentation and Don't Duplicate your Files

And that's it! The Share It logo stored in Confluence can now be accessed within that JIRA issue, and it always will show the latest version. No more duplicated files!
