The Universal Plugin Manager (UPM) allows you to disable a plugin in your Confluence instance without permanently removing it. You can also enable any plugins that have been previously disabled. If you want to add or remove a plugin from your Confluence site, please refer to Installing a Plugin or Uninstalling a Plugin respectively.

You can also disable all user installed plugins in your application, by enabling safe mode. This may help you to diagnose a plugin-related problem more easily.
