Confluence global settings

The confluence:globalSettings module adds a link to the left navigation menu in Confluence global settings. Clicking the link shows the module's content. You can use the storage API with the confluence:globalSettings to store Confluence global settings in your Forge app storage.

For UI Kit 1, see the GlobalSettings component documentation for more information. When adding this to your app, use it as a top-level component.

On apps that use Custom UI, module content is displayed inside a special Forge iframe which has the sandbox attribute configured. This means that HTML links (for example, <a href="https://domain.tld/path">...</a>) in this iframe won't be clickable. To make them clickable, use the router.navigate API from the @forge/bridge package.
