Hello Confluence Community,

I have followed the official documentation for deploying a project in Confluence and successfully completed the deployment process. The project name appears correctly in the "Manage Apps" section. However, the app is not visible in the main app section where it is usually displayed.

Here are some additional details:

  1. Project Type: The project was created as a Custom UI in Confluence.
  2. Global Page: When trying with a global page, the app appears in the options and functions correctly.
  3. contentBylineItem: When attempting to use contentBylineItem, I encounter an issue that prevents the app from appearing or functioning as expected.

I have double-checked the configuration and permissions but have not been able to resolve this issue. I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions on what might be causing this problem and how to ensure that the app appears and functions correctly in the main app section.

Thank you for your assistance!

The behavior comes from how Confluence renders extension points for Custom UI apps. The `contentBylineItem` module only displays when the host content meets specific conditions—your app must target a supported content type (usually pages, not blog posts or custom content) and include a valid `resource` and `key` reference in the manifest. If the module is configured but doesn’t match the context, Confluence won’t surface it in the main app section even though the app appears under Manage apps.
Check your `manifest.yml` for a `modules.
