The  Confluence plugin add-on is available for both Confluence v3.x and v4.x. See  plugin add-on installation for details.

Warning

Confluence v4.x has a new macro browser feature. It is very important to know that the plugin add-on macros DO NOT work when added via the new Confluence v4.x macro browser.

Thus do NOT try to add macros via the Confluence Insert > Other Macro menu or by typing '{' and choosing either Open Macro Browser or typing the name of a macro. See accessing the Confluence Macro Browser for more details of what NOT to do.

You must add the form/workflow, submissions and task macros to your page using the Add menu options that the plugin add-on adds to the Confluence Add menu. This is discussed in the sections below.
