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:
