# Link

You can link issues to keep track of duplicate or related work. You can, for example: 

* create a new linked issue from an existing issue in a service project or business project
* create an association between an issue and a Confluence page
* link an issue to any other web page

Make sure you have the *link issues* project permission before getting started. Note that your Jira administrator can customize the types of links that you can create.
