After deleting -team spaces I am no longer able to use Confluence at all. I am no longer unable to add this Atlassian app. I removed it in the first place trying to get around what seemed to be an issue after migrating from another org but now I can't re-add Confluence app at all. I would like to add teh Confluence app to restore use of this product.

Thanks,

Gordon

Hi @Gordon James , removing Confluence didn't delete it outright, it deactivated the subscription. That's why you can't just add it fresh, Atlassian still has it parked as inactive with the data attached.

  • Go to admin.atlassian.com/billing, open Subscriptions, and check the Inactive tab. If Confluence is listed there, select Reactivate and follow the prompts. This needs a Billing admin (or an Org/Site admin, depending on which billing interface your site is on), so if your account is only a Product admin, you'll need one of those roles to do it.
  • Data is only kept for 15 days on a free plan or 60 days on a paid one after deactivation, reactivating inside that window brings your spaces back along with it, this isn't a fresh install.
  • If Confluence no longer shows in that Inactive tab, or the window has already passed, that's a case for Atlassian's billing and licensing support directly, they can look at what's left on the account.
