Using a bundled version? Use Source Editor in Confluence
Before you use the bundled version
When you upgrade to a Confluence version that includes the bundled Storage Format Source Editor app, the upgrade is automatic in most cases. However, keep the following in mind:
If you’re using Storage Format Source Editor versions 19.3.22, 19.3.29, 19.3.30, or 19.5.22, uninstall the app before upgrading your Confluence.
If you uninstall and then reinstall the app, your previous configuration will be restored automatically.
When you upgrade Confluence, any existing Source Editor permissions will carry over to the new version, so your setup won’t be disrupted.
