After enabling the app and configuring the desired app settings, the next step is to create a project link. Before you start creating project links please make sure to understand the following implications:
Info
You can create multiple project links from one Master project (e.g. MAS can have project links to LP1 and LP2)
It is not possible to have project links to a project that is already linked or acts as a Master project. For instance, if we have a link between MAS and LP1 we cannot create a project link to MAS or LP1 with LP2 as the Master project
Synchronisation is effective immediately, meaning that the app will start synchronising versions/components as soon as a project link is saved.
In case of simple synchronisation, the app will delete any versions/components in the Linked project(s) that do not exist in the Master project
Tip
To make sure you fully understand the impact that Version Sync has on your projects, we advise you to first test our add-on prior to configuring links in a production environment.
Make sure you are fully aware of how the add-on configuration works and that you have confirmed that it is configured and working as expected.
In order to test our add-on, create two or more dummy projects in Jira and link them using Version Sync, or use a staging environment the first time you are configuring a project link.
Taking into account the information above, here are the two most common scenario’s with regards to creating project links:
