_Originally asked by Jonathan on 16 October 2019 [(original question)](https://oldcommunity.exalate.com/questions/5668904)_

* * *

I would like to know if it’s possible to sync the confluence pages that have been linked to an issue within projects in the same instance, my use case of exalate is to sync mobile development projects, we manage each platform as a separate project, but it’s hard to keep everybody in the same page without the confluence links.Source: [Jira Cloud](https://oldcommunity.exalate.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=3703235)_(old community)_

_Answer by Francis Martens (Exalate) on 12 November 2019_

It took some time to get it done

Example on how to use the jira interfaces to sync confluence links

- Check the snippets available [here|[https://stash.idalko.com/snippets/61c5ae54f2784ae0b0fc887a6b340397](https://stash.idalko.com/snippets/61c5ae54f2784ae0b0fc887a6b340397)]
- Add the 2 files to your \<jira-home\>/scripts folder
  - Clink.groovy
  - ConfluenceLinks.groovy

- In your outgoing sync use  
ConfluenceLinks.send()
- In your incoming sync use  
ConfluenceLinks.receive()

That’s it

Note

- It will not delete links
- It can only work on the same tracker

Please give it a try and let me know
