Install the app
Requirements, installation steps, and the permissions Storage Optimizer requests.
Requirements
- Confluence Cloud. The app is built on Atlassian Forge and does not run on Data Center or Server.
- Permission to install apps on the site, which normally means a Confluence or site administrator.
Install
- Open Settings → Apps → Find new apps in Confluence, or go to the listing on the Atlassian Marketplace.
- Search for Storage Optimizer for Confluence.
- Select Get app and confirm the permissions.

Permissions it asks for
Confluence shows this list during installation. Each one exists for a specific call:
| Permission | What it is for |
|---|---|
read:confluence-content.summary | List content and read its metadata |
read:confluence-space.summary | Attribute storage to the right space |
search:confluence | Find attachments across a space or the site |
read:attachment:confluence | Read the size of each attachment version |
read:page:confluence | Scan page bodies for attachment references |
write:confluence-content | Delete a superseded attachment version |
delete:attachment:confluence | Delete an attachment you selected |
Broader permissions were available for several of these and were deliberately not requested. The app declares no outbound network access at all, which is why Atlassian grants it the Runs on Atlassian designation: there is no path by which your content can reach a system the vendor operates.
App permissions goes through them one by one: the exact call behind each, and why a narrower permission would not have worked.
Who can use it after install
The app acts through the Confluence API as the signed-in user. It can show and delete only what that user could already reach in Confluence itself. Installing the app grants nobody access they did not already have.
Updates
Forge apps update automatically on your site. If a new version changes the permissions it requests, Confluence asks an administrator to approve the change before it takes effect.
Uninstall
Go to Settings → Apps → Manage apps, select the app and choose Uninstall. Attachments and versions you already removed are not restored — deletions are Confluence operations, not app state.
