Use of Add-In

Create an Export in Jira

You will need to start by creating an export in Jira. If your export was created before Q2 2025, you may have to recreate your Export to make it work properly with the Office Add-in.

Open end Edit your Export in Excel

You can find your export on the My Published Excel Sheets page. Open it up in Excel for the Web/Online. You should now see a spreadsheet with your exported issues. There are several modes in which fields can be edited:

  • Edit directly in the cell (text and number fields)

  • Drop down (option fields with values)

  • Context menu (user, label, option fields, etc)
