# Find Markdown documents across Jira projects

To find Markdown documents across Jira projects, open **Capable Markdown** from the **Apps** menu in Jira. Its list view shows each .md document with its name, issue and creation date, newest first. Filter by project to narrow it down, and click a row to open the issue it belongs to without leaving the page.

## Before you start

* You need to be logged in. The list only shows issues you are allowed to see.
* Documents are listed once the app has indexed the issue. Files attached before the app was installed are not listed until the issue's attachments change.

## Steps

1. In Jira, open **Apps** and choose **Capable Markdown**.
2. If the welcome screen shows, switch to **List view** with the icon buttons in the header.
3. Use the project selector to show one or more projects.
4. Click a row to open its issue in a dialog, then read or edit the document in the issue's Markdown panel.

## If it does not work

* **The list is empty, but issues have .md files.** Those files were attached before the app was installed, or the issue has not been indexed yet. Adding or removing any attachment on the issue indexes it.
* **The welcome screen keeps coming back.** Hiding it is remembered in your browser only, so a new browser or a cleared cache shows it again.
