Roll back plans when updatign Confluence Plugins?

Hi Victor,

We have needed to rollback an occasional malfunctioning plugin in the past while vendors fix issues related to our environment. You'd be surprised how many plugins seem to have Oracle-specific data storage issues.

First, keep detailed records of which version you're upgrading from so you know which version you need to roll back to. Here's a snippet from my update notes page (we update our plugins monthly):

Here are the steps for executing a rollback, in the event you ever need to do it:

1. Go to the plugin's marketplace listing, click on the Versions tab, and then click the See all __ versions link. This takes you to a page that looks like this (my favourite Confluence plugin as an example)
2. From your update notes, check which version you're coming from and need to roll back to. Find this version on the page, right click the Download link, and choose to copy the link address (or whatever the specific wording is in your browser)
   
3. In Confluence, Uninstall the current version of the offending plugin. That's right - completely uninstall it.
4. While you're still on the Manage Plugins page in Confluence, click the Upload addon button near the top right (above the list of installed plugins). Paste the URL of the version you need, and click the button to install.
   

Cheers,
Daniel
