For the following steps you need Confluence Administrator permissions.

Installing the App

The app is available at the Atlassian Marketplace. To install the add-on, log into your Confluence as a system administrator and navigate to the "Find New Apps" tab of the Universal Plugin Manager (UPM) in the global administration. There, you can simply search for “SharePoint Connector for Confluence“ and select Server or DataCenter in the "Hosting Options" dropdown. You can find the UPM via the menu entry Find New Apps or similar. For more details about the UPM please refer to the documentation provided by Atlassian.

For a detailed instruction regarding prerequisites and installation steps, depending from the SharePoint platform, please refer to our guides:

SharePoint Online: Guide for SharePoint Online (v 1.12)

Sharepoint On-Premises: Guide for SharePoint On-Premises (v 1.12)

Licensing the App 

The add-on needs a valid license, otherwise features might not work. Valid licenses are either full licenses, renewal licenses, or 30-day trials and are available at the Atlassian Marketplace. The license model is the same that Atlassian uses for its products – for further information see the Atlassian documentation.

To obtain a license and apply it to the add-on, please follow this instructions (see also screenshot above):

  • Go to the license settings page (> Confluence Administration > "Manage Apps" or similar tab > Extend the add-on "SharePoint Connector for Confluence")

  • Use the links to create a new license at the Atlassian Marketplace (use "Free Trial" to get a new trial license or "Buy Now" to purchase a full license), or copy a license you may have received from Communardo.

  • Enter the license key in the license screen.

The app is activated in the Global Administration.

Updating the App

You can update your app to the current version directly in the Confluence administration. Go to "Manage Apps" and open the app. Click the "Update" button.
