Use Confluence's Universal Plugin Manager (UPM) to install and uninstall apps.

Installing or uninstalling apps in Confluence is easy! Just use the Universal Plugin Manager (UPM), an administration interface for managing apps. This guide shows you how to open the UPM, find an app, and install it. It also shows you the steps for uninstalling an app.

First, determine if you are a System Administrator

Only System Administrators can update apps.

Visit the Universal Plugin Manager page

The Universal Plugin Manager (UPM) can be accessed via the gear icon in the Confluence Administration Menu. Click the gear and then select "Manage apps" (or "Add-ons" in older versions). This will take you to the UPM interface. Here you should see a list of "User-installed apps."
