Install XPress

XPress is a Forge app distributed through the Atlassian Marketplace. Installation takes under two minutes and requires Confluence admin permissions on your site.

Before you install

• Confluence Cloud (Forge apps do not run on Confluence Data Center / Server).
• A user account with the Confluence admin privilege (needed to install Forge apps).
• At least one space with pages you want to export.

Step 1 — Open the Marketplace listing

1. Sign in to your Confluence site as an admin.
2. Open the Marketplace listing for XPress: marketplace.atlassian.com → XPress.
3. Click Get it now (or Try it free to start a trial).

Step 2 — Choose your site

If you administer more than one Confluence site, pick the site XPress should be installed on, then click Install.

Step 3 — Review and accept permissions

Atlassian will display the permissions XPress requests:

• read:page:confluence, read:confluence-content.all, read:confluence-content.summary, read:hierarchical-content:confluence — read page content and traverse page trees so you can pick what to export.
• read:confluence-space.summary, read:space:confluence — list spaces and read their metadata.
• read:attachment:confluence — embed images and attachments in exported PDFs.
• search:confluence — find pages you’ve selected.
• write:confluence-file, write:confluence-content — attach the resulting PDF inside Confluence (when you choose to save the export back to a page).
• storage:app — store export job state and the last 20 exports per space.

Click Get it now to confirm.

Step 4 — Wait for installation

Atlassian provisions the app — usually 10–30 seconds. When complete you’ll see a Get started button.

Step 5 — Open XPress inside a space

1. Open any Confluence space.
2. In the space’s left-hand sidebar, click XPress.

The first time you open it, XPress loads the space’s page tree and shows you the settings sidebar.

Verifying the install

You’ll know XPress is working when:

• XPress appears in the space sidebar of every space you visit.
• The page tree loads with selectable pages.
• The Settings sidebar shows paper size, orientation, margins, and header/footer inputs.

Updating XPress

XPress updates automatically through Forge. There is nothing to deploy or restart on your side.

Uninstalling XPress

1. Settings → Apps → Manage apps in Confluence.
2. Find XPress in the user-installed list.
3. Click Uninstall.

XPress’s data (export history, job state) is removed from your tenant per Atlassian’s standard data-retention policy. See privacy for details.

Next: Run your first export →
