Step Two: Select the Issue

Click an existing ticket to open up a view that allows you to edit its details.

Step Three: Add a Web Link

<p>A screenshot of a JIRA backlog with a ticket selected. On the ticket details view we have highlighted the "Link issues, web pages and more.." button. Click it and in the pop-up that appears, we have highlighted the "Add web link" option - click it.<br /></p>

Click the Link issues, web pages and more... button and in the pop-up that appears, click Add a web link.

Step Four: Link a web page

In the Web links section that appears, enter the URL name and the Link text.

When everything looks good, click the Link button.

If you wish to cancel, click the Cancel button.

Once completed, it should look similar to that below
