You can quickly open each screen or component in Zeplin by clicking the “Open in Zeplin” icon in each row. Similar to adding projects, you can also add styleguides and access all their components. You can also pin screens or components you frequently visit, and they will be listed under the “Pinned” panel.

Once you add a project, Zeplin will list changes to screens and components under the “Activity” panel. Open Jira issuesUsing Zeplin for Jira, you can attach Zeplin resources to Jira issues.

Coupled with the “Pinned” panel, you can quickly access Jira issues of designs you frequently visit.
