Learn Synaps,
one feature at a time.
Each guide walks through a single part of the plugin in plain steps, paired with the screenshot you would see in Jira. Open any topic to jump straight to what you need.
Getting started
Install Synaps
Add Synaps to your Jira Cloud site from the Atlassian Marketplace. Three clicks, no server, no setup wizard.
Your first scan
What happens the first time you open Synaps, how long the scan takes, and how to refresh it later. Press R any time to re-scan.
Reading the map
Every Jira project is a circle, every dependency is a line. Here is how to make sense of the picture in seconds.
Features
Navigation and shortcuts
Pan, zoom, minimap, fullscreen, search, and the keyboard shortcuts that make moving around the map effortless.
Dependency details
Click any line on the map to open the side panel listing every Jira issue link behind it. Filter by status, link type, or assignee.
Blocked chains
Synaps follows blocking links across projects - A blocks B blocks C - and names the root blocker, so you know exactly who to escalate to.
Filters
Narrow the map to the projects that matter with the Filters panel - All, Top Projects, or a custom pick - and Synaps lays the result out as focused islands.
Table View
A sortable, scannable table of your whole portfolio - project, category, lead, link counts, and issue status - with expandable dependency rows.
Export and share
Publish the current view to Confluence, or download it as Markdown, CSV, vector PDF, or raster PNG. Pan and zoom first to frame the export.
Theme and language
Synaps mirrors your Jira look and feel. Light or dark mode and seven languages, no settings to manage inside the app.
Admin
Subscription and trial
What the trial banner means, what happens when a subscription lapses, and how to upgrade or reactivate from inside Jira.
Connect Synaps to Confluence
Step-by-step guide for a site admin: connect Synaps to Confluence from Atlassian Administration, confirm it worked, and publish your first dependency map.
