Confluence – Plugins

More than a wiki, Confluence is an extensible application platform.

The Confluence plugin system makes it easy to customise and extend Confluence to suit your needs.

Below are some of the most popular plugins created by the Confluence developer community. We also have a library containing many more plugins, and you can even write your own.

Calendar

Display a calendar in any Confluence page in day, week or month format. Calendars are dynamically updated, and support incoming and outgoing iCal subscriptions.

Atlassian plugin

Chart

Display tabular data in graphical format within your Confluences pages: pie charts, bar charts, line graphs, area graphs and Gantt charts.

Atlassian plugin

Gliffy

Draw diagrams in your Confluence pages — flowcharts, UI wireframes, floor plans, network diagrams, UML diagrams, or any other simple drawing or diagram.

Third-party plugin

WebDAV

Access your Confluence content from your WebDAV client (e.g. 'Web Folders' on Windows). View and edit spaces, pages and attachments, safe in the knowledge that Confluence's security is in force.
