Installation

Installing the app

You can easily install the Better Content Archiving for Confluence Data Center app using the Universal Plugin Manager (UPM) that is built into Confluence.

Although you can install it in two different ways, we highly recommend the first approach for your convenience. You should use the second approach only if the server that hosts your Confluence instance has no access to the Atlassian Marketplace, i.e. when the direct communication between those is not possible.

Installing directly from Atlassian Marketplace
  1. Login to Confluence as administrator, go to Confluence Administration → Add-ons → Find new add-ons and search for the term "better content archiving".
  2. Click Install at the entry of "Better Content Archiving for Confluence" in the search results.
  3. Click Manage add-ons in the left and check whether "Better Content Archiving for Confluence" is visible in the User-installed add-ons list, and whether it is enabled.
Installing by uploading the app JAR
  1. Download the app JAR from its version history page at Atlassian Marketplace. Make sure that you download the app version which is marked compatible with your Confluence Data Center version.
  2. Login to Confluence as administrator, go to Confluence Administration → Add-ons → Manage add-ons and click Upload add-on in the right.
  3. Click Browse, select the better-content-archiving-for-confluence-x.y.z.jar that you just downloaded, and upload it.
  4. Check whether "Better Content Archiving for Confluence" is visible in the User-installed add-ons list, and whether it is enabled.
