19 After successful authentication, you will be directed to the DevOps Portal, in this example the user is assigned to two projects, and the user has a specific role in each project. By selecting the relevant Project from the drop-down list, you can navigate through the **Collaboration and Documentation** under **Confluence **section as shown in below example:

23 = Create a page =

31 = Link a Jira issue into the page content =

33 If you would like to insert a link to a Jira ticket in your page content (at first you have to create the exact ticket), click on the **Insert macros** button and select **Jira Issue/Filter:**
34 [[image:image2019-8-6_11-49-3.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="1109"]]
35
36 Type the ticket's name (key or summary) on the top (in this example the //Deploy microservices// ticket can be inserted), then click **Insert** at the bottom:
37
38 [[image:image2019-8-6_11-50-11.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="700"]]
39
40 To see the result, you have to **Publish** the page.
41
42 [[image:image2019-8-6_11-56-19.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="1109"]]
43
44 Now the link to the ticket is created and the //status// of the ticket (in the example it is IN PROGRESS) is shown. Clicking the link will open the ticket in Jira.
45
46 [[image:image2019-8-6_11-59-39.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="1109"]]
47

50 [[image:image2019-8-6_12-2-51.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="1109"]]
51

57 You can create other pages by repeating this method (create, then publish).
58 {{/info}}
59
60 = Table of Contents =
61
62 If you would like to add a table of contents to your page, at first you have to create the titles by selecting one of the Heading formats for the text:
63
64 [[image:image2019-8-6_14-28-0.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="1109"]]

68 [[image:image2019-8-6_14-28-48.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="1109"]]
69
70 A dialog pops up that let's you customize certain aspects of the table of contents (in this example nothing is changed). Click **Insert** once you're done:
71
72 [[image:image2019-8-6_14-30-4.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" width="900"]]
73
74 Now the **Table of Contents** macro appears at the last cursor position on the page:
75
76 [[image:image2019-8-6_14-32-14.png||data-xwiki-image-style-border="true" queryparams="effects=drop-shadow" height="543" width="500"]]

89 **Automatic project linking across Atlassian tools:**
90 Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket projects with the same Project Key are now automatically linked via the DevOps Portal. This simplifies workflows, such as selecting a Git repository in Bitbucket when creating a branch for a Jira issue. Previously, this required Sysadmin privileges, but the Portal now handles it automatically. To activate for an existing project, simply **Edit and Save** or **Resync** the project.
