The Application Upgrade Check in the Universal Plugin Manager (UPM) helps you to check whether your plugins will still work with Confluence after a Confluence upgrade.

For example, if you were thinking of upgrading from Confluence 3.1 to Confluence 3.2, the Application Upgrade Check can tell you the following:

  • Installed plugins that are compatible with Confluence 3.1 and Confluence 3.2.
  • Installed plugins that are not compatible with Confluence 3.2, but will be compatible with Confluence 3.2 if you upgrade them.
  • Installed plugins that are not compatible with Confluence 3.2, even if you upgrade them to their latest version.
To access the Universal Plugin Manager in Confluence,
  1. Click the 'Browse' menu link on the top bar and select the 'Confluence Admin' option to open the 'Administration Console'.
  2. Click the 'Plugins' link under the 'Administration' section in the left menu to open the 'Universal Plugin Manager'. The 'Universal Plugin Manager' will be displayed, showing the plugins installed on your Confluence instance.

To check compatibility of your plugins against different Confluence versions,

  1. Click the '<application name> Upgrade Check' tab, (e.g. 'Confluence Upgrade Check'). The '<application name> Upgrade Check' page will display (see screenshot below).
  2. Select the version of your application that you wish to check the compatibility of your installed plugins against in the 'Check compatibility for' dropdown and click the 'Check' button.
  3. The page will refresh displaying any of your installed plugins that are not compatible with the selected application version (see screenshot below). The compatibility checker will also check the compatibility of the latest available version of each plugin (if not already upgraded) with the selected application version. You can click on the name of any of the plugins to view more information about the plugin.
     
    The plugins will be grouped into sections under the following headings:
    • Incompatible — The installed versions of plugins in this section are currently not compatible with the selected application version. There are currently no plugin upgrades available that are compatible with the selected application version.
    • Compatible, if upgraded — The installed versions of plugins in this section are currently not compatible with the selected application version. However, the plugins will be compatible with the selected application version if they are upgraded. There are buttons to allow you to upgrade these plugins.
    • Compatible if both Confluence and the plugin are upgraded — The installed versions of plugins in this section are currently not compatible with the selected application version. There is a plugin compatible with the newer application version, but it is not compatible with the application version you are currently running. You must upgrade the application and then proceed with the plugin upgrade. There are buttons to allow you to disable these plugins before proceeding with the upgrade.
    • Compatible — The currently installed versions of plugins in this section are compatible with the selected application version.
    • Unknown — Plugins listed under this section may or may not be compatible with the selected application version. If a plugin is not registered with the Atlassian Plugin Exchange, the Universal Plugin Manager cannot check its compatibility with different application versions.
