Extension Point Locations

Confluence provides a variety of areas that app developers can enhance by utilizing Connect modules, such as Web Item, Web Section, Web Panel, Space Tool Tabs, and General Page and Admin Page. Each of these modules is equipped with a location parameter, which acts much like coordinates on a map, specifying the exact spot where the extension will be integrated. This location is uniquely named and corresponds to specific elements within the user interface, such as drop-down menus or navigation lists.

Notably, General Page, Admin Page, and Web Items often share common locations, allowing for a streamlined approach to integration across different elements of the Confluence interface.

To efficiently identify the appropriate location for each module, developers can utilize the Extension Point Finder for Confluence

Below you can find the list of all locations available in Confluence grouped by module type.

Some extension points have been deprecated. Learn more about the deprecation here.
