Reinstalling the add-on might help in this case. You need to stop the trial first, and then uninstall the add-on. After that, you can install it again and continue with your trial.

If you try to install the add-on with a direct link you may get an error message like “Add-on key is invalid”. Most likely this means that you’re not logged in to Jira with sufficient administrator privileges to install add-ons. Check your permissions or cantact your Jira admin.

I can’t see my Jira board
It can happen that the Jira board you need is not visible in dashboard creation wizard. The most common reason is that the user you’re using to authorize the connection does not have access to that board. If you’ve installed Screenful from the Atlassian Marketplace check this guide. If you’ve installed Screenful as a stand-alone web app, start from here.

Why is the total number of issues that I see in Jira different to Screenful?
Two common scenarios could cause the difference. First, if any Jira columns are excluded in Screenful workflow settings, issues from those Jira columns won't be imported to Screenful. In addition, if there are Jira statuses that are not mapped to any Jira column in the Jira board configuration view, issues with those statuses are not imported to Screenful.
