Hi, @Emilee !

Thank you so much for such a detailed and useful list of plugins!

[Sven Schatter _Lively Apps_]

Thanks for sharing this, Emilee! Super proud to appear twice on this list with our Cloud versions of PocketQuery and Task Reminder! Many more on the way :)

[Liam Green]

Thanks for this - lots of apps on here that I didn't know about!

[Dmitry Astapkovich _Colined_]

Great list, thank you for sharing!

[Monika Rani]

Thanks for sharing.

Since Confluence Server and Confluence Cloud are two very different products, how can you quickly filter Atlassian Marketplace to only show apps for one product or the other? 

It is a real pain to have to click on each app to see which product it is for.

[Emilee]

@Bob Sovers Are you referring to the Marketplace in general or specifically this post? If the later, all of these apps will be available for cloud since this is specifically a roundup of new cloud apps. Unfortunately we're not looking at server apps here and that's not the intention of this post. But, if you would like to browse new server apps on Marketplace for confluence, you can use this filter and sorting to look at the newest apps added. 

Let me know if that answers your question or if you are referring to something else.

[Bob Sovers]

Emilee... Thank you for your response.  The disconnect is in what was presented to me.  When I connected to the Confluence / Marketplace apps page from within our Confluence page (Apps menu item), I do not get to apply anything but a Category / Free / or More Filters (Vendor supported and Beta version).  It appears that my view is already filtered by "Confluence and Cloud", since it currently shows 468 apps.

[Emilee]

@Bob Sovers Ah yes that is true for our in-product marketplace. It's already filtered down to cloud options to make it easier for customers like you to find relevant apps. You should see an options for "Sort" which will allow you to change how the results are presented to you. By selecting newest, you can also see the most recently added apps to the Marketplace. Hope this helps!
