New year, new features and improvements! 🎆 We're making URLs in Projects more powerful with direct links to the project READMEs, project item side-panel, and adding items from repository pane.
📖 Access Project READMEs by URL
Project READMEs have been around for a while but in many of our customer calls, we found that you struggled to find them. With our latest release, we've added the ability for you to directly reference and share the README pane by URL.
With the README open, copy the URL in your address bar and share wherever it's needed. We suggest using this as the primary link when sharing a project because it drops your teammates directly into a view that provides valuable information about the project.
🔗 Automatically open an item in the side-panel via deep link
You can link to an issue in a repository and you can link to a project, but now you also have the ability to deep link to a specific issue in the project to open it in the item side-panel. Share context more quickly by directly sharing your view – project and opened item – with just one URL.
You can also deep link to the Add item from repository pane as an additional shortcut to make it even easier to bulk add items.
