Installing the App (v 2.1)

Via Confluence Administration

The app is available at the Atlassian Marketplace. To install the app, log into your Confluence as a system administrator and navigate to the "Find New Add-ons" tab of the Universal Plugin Manager (UPM) in the global administration. There you simply search for "Accessibility for Confluence". You can find the UPM via the menu entry "Find new add-ons" or similar.

For more details about the UPM please refer to the documentation provided by Atlassian.
