titleWhat happens to content when you uninstall an HTML plugin in Confluence Cloud?

Composition HTML Macro for Confluence Cloud requires an active app subscription, so uninstalling this information will be lost on the front end but available on the back end in the page’s storage format.

The body of the macro will not be lost if the plugin is not installed. It is Storage Format markup that is persisted by Confluence.

View the Storage Format for a page containing an HTML macro, and you can see that:

Code Block
<ac:structured-macro ac:name="html-macro" ac:schema-version="1" data-layout="default" ac:macro-id="2be30073-6c34-41aa-9a35-bcc801e8eac8"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[<b>Hello</b>]]></ac:plain-text-body></ac:structured-macro>

titleIs it possible to determine the number of users/groups using an app available to all users in our Jira instance?

Unfortunately, there isn't a direct way to track the exact number of users utilizing this plugin, as it is embedded within Confluence pages. However, you can monitor the frequency of its usage and the specific pages where it is employed. Please refer to the steps outlined in the screenshot below to gain insights into the plugin's usage patterns.

Or you can perform an advanced search for the macro name (see below), giving you a general idea of how many pages it has been used on. This won’t consider pages you can’t see or if the App is used multiple times on a page.

Code Block
ac:name="html-macro"

 

Here is another process provided by Atlassian to search the usage of macros via API, refer to below documents

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/advanced-searching-using-cql/ https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/intro/#status-code

To use the API search function, you will need to add the below search after your instance URL. The first will give you all pages that have the HTML macro on it up to the 1st 25 uses. The second raises the limit to 250.

Code Block
