Prerequisites and Supported Platforms

Please ensure you read through and comply with the following requirements before installing the SharePoint Connector.

Windows

The Confluence SharePoint Connector supports the same Windows operating system requirements as those specified by Microsoft for SharePoint.

Confluence

You need Confluence 4.0 or later. You can download Confluence from the Confluence download centre.

Info
title.NET Framework required on Windows

Note that if you are running Confluence on a Windows Server, you should ensure that the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 is installed. Microsoft .NET is required for Confluence in certain configurations (see the guide on Configuring Access to SharePoint with SP 2013 for more information).

You can download the .NET Framework 2.0 here (for the 32-bit version) or here (for the 64-bit version).

SharePoint

Versions 1.8 and later of the SharePoint Connector support Microsoft SharePoint 2016 2013. For a quick guide to the different SharePoint versions available, see our comparison of SharePoint versions and editions. Some features of the SharePoint Connector are only available when using SharePoint Server 20162013, as described below.

  1. You will need SharePoint Foundation 2016 2013 as a minimum requirement.
    • To check if SharePoint Foundation 2016 2013 is installed, go to Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft SharePoint 2016 2013 Products -> SharePoint 2016 2013 Central Administration. If you can see 'SharePoint 2016 2013 Central Administration', then SharePoint Foundation has already been installed.
  2. (Optional) For added functionality, you need Microsoft SharePoint Server 2016 2013 (Standard or Enterprise)
    • SharePoint Server 2016 2013 is required for the following features:
