Linking documents to Jira issues

Users can link documents and folders to Jira issues in order to make them visible and accessible on the Jira issues screen.
There are two ways to link documents to Jira issues, as described below. Both methods produce the same type of "both-ways" link between the document and Jira issue.
Linking documents to Jira issues from the issue screen
Follow these steps to link a document or folder to a Jira issue:
Navigate to the Jira issue.
Click Linked documents in the right panel. The panel will be open, showing the currently linked documents.
The Linked documents table does not display the linked documents over which the current user does not have View permissions.
Click the drop-down list under Add new link, search for the document that you want to link and select it.
Click the Link button. The document will be added to the linked documents table.
Repeat the previous two steps if you want to link other documents.
Click Save changes. The links have been created, and from now on they will appear in the Linked documents table.
If you want to unlink a document, click its X icon.
Linking Jira issues to documents
Follow these steps to link a Jira issue to a document or folder:
In Jira, go to Projects.
Make sure that you are on the right project.
Click the Documents tab.
Locate the document or folder and click on its Linked issues option under the Actions menu. The Linked issues dialog will open, showing the issues currently linked to the document.
The linked issues table does not display the linked issues over which the current user does not have View permissions.
At Add link to issue, click the drop-down list, search for the Jira issue that you want to link, and select it.
Click Add Link.
Repeat the previous two steps if you want to link other issues.
Click Save. The links have been created, and from now on they will appear in the linked issues table.
Click the X icon of a linked issue if you want to unlink it.
