Installation / Upgrade
If your Confluence server has access to the internet
- In the Confluence Administration menu, select Find New Add-ons and search for Spreadsheet
- Once you have found the Spreadsheet add-on, select Buy Now or Free Trial and the add-on will download and install automatically.
If your Confluence server does not have access to the internet
- You need to download the add-on directly from the page Spreadsheet for Confluence version history (please make sure you select a version that is compatible with your Confluence instance).
When it is possible, test the upgrade in a staging environment.
Before You Start:
- Ensure that your Spreadsheet license key is active with the target add-on version. You can ask for a renewal key at plugin@elements-apps.com
