Using the Universal Plugin Manager (UPM), you can disable a plugin on your Confluence site without permanently removing the plugin. You can also enable any plugins that have been previously disabled. In some cases, you may want to disable or enable a specific module in a plugin.

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.

If you want to add or remove a plugin from your Confluence site, please refer to Installing a Plugin or Uninstalling a Plugin.
