> ℹ️ **Functionality unavailable **
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ The current Forge API doesn't support the same Jira team synchronization you experienced on the Connect version of the app. We are actively working with Atlassian and exploring internal solutions to restore this functionality as soon as possible.

## Initial setup

The setup is described on the following page: [Jira Teams](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=dlpdraft&title=NEW%20Teams%20based%20on%20Jira%20teams&linkCreation=true&fromPageId=2024289592).

## Add Jira teams to a box

In the Teams module:

1. Click the **+** button.
2. Select **Create new team based on Jira team**
3. Select a Jira Cloud team and fill out the required fields.

4. Click **Create**.

**Result**: new team appears on the list.  
Memberships and availability of team members are managed as normal.

## Using the same Jira team in multiple boxes

You can’t create multiple box teams based on a single Jira team:

> ✅ You **can** assign the same BigPicture team to multiple boxes.

## Synchronization

Synchronization of BigPicture teams with Jira teams has to be triggered manually. 

In a Teams module of a box:

1. Click **Synchronize **
2. Select Synchronize with Jira Cloud Teams.
