How to use an installed add-on (Confluence)

Question

I'm sure this is a really stupid question, but I cannot find an answer anywhere!  I have installed a new plugin to Confluence (v5.8.13) using UPM and I can see it installed and enabled successfully in 'Manage add-ons'.  There's no configuration that needs doing (it's a Calendar-style plugin).

What I cannot tell is how an end-user references that plugin from within a newly created page, actually creates himself a calendar (in this instance, but it could be any plugin) on his page?  How do you reference add-ons/plugins for actual use?  I can't believe that's not in the Confluence help anywhere, or if it is, that I've managed to miss it!

Hmm, I'm not sure I'd install an add-on if I didn't know what it was supposed to be doing.  Which add-on is it?  Or, more importantly, what are you trying to do?

Thanks but there aren't any add-on docs.  It's a calendar plugin/add-on, so I rather expected to be just able to add it to a page, but I don't see it available in any page button, toolbar, macro list, views or anywhere else!  I think I need to contact the author and see how he intended it to be used.

Hmm  I tried this, but none of the user-installed add-ins show up in the macro list, so I'm a bit confused how to reference it!
