Finding the Confluence Version

How to find the version of a Confluence instance or site.
By Heinrich Ulbricht |

Time and again the question comes up: which Confluence version am I running on?

One way of finding the Confluence version is as easy as scrolling down on any Confluence page. The version might be written there:

If you don’t see any version information in the page footer you might be using a theme that hides that information.

You can always resort to the /rest/applinks/1.0/manifest endpoint that shows the Confluene version as well:

  • if your Confluence is available at https://confluence.contoso.com the address to navigate to would behttps://confluence.contoso.com/rest/applinks/1.0/manifest
  • if your Confluence is available at https://contoso.com/confluence the address to navigate to would behttps://contoso.com/confluence/rest/applinks/1.0/manifest

Navigate to the address in a browser where you are logged-in to Confluence and the page that opens shows the Confluence version:

Here the Confluence version would be 8.7.1.

This also works in Confluence Cloud. The version number for Confluence Cloud always start with 1000.
