1. Choose   > Edit (under the SWITCH TO heading).
2. Create links by entering a name and the URL on the page.

After you've created a link, it will appear in the application

navigator for all your applications after a few minutes (up to 10).
Or, if you want links to appear immediately, you can navigate to
the application navigator administration page in each application
and refresh the page. 

If you want to make a link appear in the application 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 application 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

applications (for example, in a different Jira application), edit the
link in that application. You cannot delete links to linked
applications, you must delete the application link instead.
