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.

To install an app

 

First, determine if you are a System Administrator

Only System Administrators can update apps. You'll know if you are a System Administrator or not if you can access the Universal Plugin Manager (UPM) in the next step. If you are not, you will need to contact your System Administrator to perform these steps.

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."

To install an app, click the "Find new apps" link (or "Find new add-ons" in older versions).

This will prompt you to enter your username and password and then connect you to the Atlassian Marketplace. You will still be "within Confluence" but are able to search and read about all the apps hosted in the Marketplace.

Search for an app

In the app search box, type Brikit (or the app you are looking for) and hit enter. This will return all the Brikit apps compatible with your version of Confluence.

Click "Try free" to begin a new trial or "Buy now" to purchase a license

The app will begin to download. You may be prompted to login to the Atlassian Marketplace using your username and password.

Enter your information and click "Generate license" when redirected to MyAtlassian.

Click Apply license.

If you're using an older version of UPM, you can copy and paste the license into the license text box in of this app in the Universal Plugin Manager (UPM) list of User-installed apps.

 

To uninstall an app

 

In the Universal Plugin Manager, click the app from the list of User-installed apps

Clicking the name of the app will expand the information box and reveal action buttons, such as "Getting Started," "Configure," "Disable," and "Uninstall"

Click Uninstall

A pop-up prompt will ask you to confirm uninstallation. You may also provide a reason for removing the app.
