00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Markdown Mode for Jira lets you write Markdown, check a preview, and save formatted
content into Jira.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Before you start, ask a Jira site administrator to install the app from the Atlassian
Marketplace. You need permission to edit the issue.

3
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:29,000
On an existing Jira Cloud issue, open the Actions menu and choose Edit in Markdown. This
opens the description editor.

4
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Start with a test issue. Paste the example from the guide, or append it below existing
text. Split view shows your source beside the formatted preview.

5
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Check the heading, list, and code block. The preview helps you catch formatting problems
before saving. AI generated Markdown still needs review.

6
00:00:52,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Choose Save description. In Jira, this writes native issue content. This walkthrough uses
fictional data in the local demo.

7
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:14,000
To add a comment, use Actions, Comment in Markdown. Write, preview, then choose Add
comment. Keep this separate from editing the description.

8
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Open your issue again to check the saved formatting. If anything blocks you, use the
guide’s support link.
