Upgrade Notes

Confluence 3.1 or Later Required

With the release of version 1.4, the SharePoint Connector no longer supports Confluence 3.0.x. The minimum requirement is now Confluence 3.1 or later. Please refer to the full details of the supported platforms for SharePoint 2007 and for SharePoint 2010.

Updated OpenSearch Plugin Available

We have recently released an updated version of the OpenSearch plugin, addressing an issue that caused searches from SharePoint to fail if anonymous access was enabled on your Confluence wiki. If you use the Federated Search feature of the SharePoint Connector, you may wish to also update to the latest version of the OpenSearch plugin, which is available for download from the Atlassian Plugin Exchange.

  • Option 1: Upgrade your SharePoint Connector on SharePoint 2010. This procedure assumes that you have upgraded your SharePoint server to Microsoft SharePoint 2010.

  • Option 2: Upgrade your SharePoint Connector on SharePoint 2007. This procedure assumes that you are running the SharePoint Connector on Microsoft SharePoint 2007.
