problem I’ve seen is with one Add-on Linking

Problem I’ve seen is with one Add-on. Linking. Is there anyway to tell if it is used?  If not, perhaps we can uninstall it.

Could you please help us?
We are in Production Deployment.

@Rajratan Dahanethe only  impact  is that add-will  top working in all  pages that  you  use the plugin. you will  get a  box with  message Unknown macro : link page  if you have used the link page macro (broken link),and then you  will  need to  remove this mess in all pages.

i suggest  you  try  to  get  compatible version from  vendor before removing plugin. so  that you  don't  have to remove all  broken link  in all  pages :/  

Best!

It depends  atlassian built in  free plugins  will still  work,  depending on the Confluence

version you have, but  when  you  expand  this  arrow  on this image you  will  see whether or not  is free or  licensed  in case of license expired plugin  it shouldn't work  you  should get error message of expiry  when  you try  to  use plugin,

If you  have a Third vendor free plugin  for  instance( if the vendor  does not have a compatible version with  your  confluence instance you should  contact the vendor for the  plugin version that will be compatible with  your

if you have a non - free plugin(licensed) and it is not  compatible,  in your confluence instance  ie. plugin  configuration should  not even be visible in  Genenaral configuration of your confluence (hint  Go  to  General configuration  as admin  find Linking for Confluence)

see what  linking  does and how you  can verify it whether it works in confluence

1. Go to  a page confluence

2. Edit the page,  click  the + button and choose other macros

3. Search with the the word link, you  will  see macros  like link location, link page, choose link page for example add all required field and save it you don't get error it means great!

4. if you  get  error it means license  expired most likely  if you don't  get any macros related to  this plug in,  it means that you  need to  contact  vendor to  give you  compatible version/info.

Best.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your reply.

So if we uninstall linking add-on, is there any impact on confluence application?

Thanks

Anywhere that you have used the add-on will stop working.  You'll get a small grey box noting the break in the content if you've used any of its macros, but everything else will work fine.
