Connecting context about your codebase to Unblocked

Unblocked exists to answer questions about your application, so it takes into account the context, data, and discussions that live across the systems your team uses.

Connecting Jira Data Center
Once you connect Jira Data Center, you have the option to grant access to specific projects for Unblocked to index and search. You will be best served by granting access to all projects, but you can always restrict the scope depending on your team’s needs.
