Preview subtasks on the backlog

Open the backlog view

Go to the backlog in your existing Jira (Atlassian) in the browser. URLflows reads the backlog you're viewing and is ready to preview subtasks for any issue listed there.

Hover an issue key

Move your pointer over an issue's key in the backlog. A tooltip appears listing that issue's subtasks. For each subtask the tooltip shows:

• A status badge, so you can read progress at a glance.
• A clickable link to open the subtask directly.

This lets you check the breakdown of a parent during planning or grooming without leaving the backlog.

Tip: hover the key itself

If the tooltip doesn't appear, hover directly on the issue key rather than elsewhere on the row. That's the spot URLflows watches to build the preview.
