This step establishes a connection beeween Conflunce, Jira and ARN. If you do not follow this step, ARN Confluence Helper will still work and you will be able to use this feature. However, that will not allow you to have easy JQL suggesstions while creating Confluence templates and it is quite error prone unless you are sure the JQLs that you are adding is 100% correct. To avoid any such issues, it is recommeded to complete this step More details in below section. |

If you have already added a token before and want to update it, you can regenerate the token from Jira ARN configuration and update it within helper app configuration under Conflunce. Follow the same navigations explained above. |

Please note this token would be able to fetch Jira data within confluence helper app for features like JQL suggestions. Data fetched against different Jira fields depends on the user's credentials used for configuration. For example if user A's credentials establish the connection between ARN and ARN Helper app, User B who might not have access to all Jira projects that user A has, will still be able to see relevant Jira data in JQL suggestions. |
