FAQs about Linchpin Intranet Suite updates


  • After you installed the Linchpin Intranet Suite, update notifications for individual apps are no longer displayed in the Confluence App Manager.
  • As soon as a new version of the Linchpin Intranet Suite is available in the Marketplace, you will see a single update for the Linchpin Intranet Suite app displayed in Confluence's Universal Plugin Manager.
  • After updating the Linchpin Intranet Suite the latest version for all apps within the bundle are available in your Confluence.

Please do not update individual Linchpin apps manually via the Atlassian Marketplace, once you switched to the Linchpin Intranet Suite bundle. If you continue to update individual apps, it might cause database incompatibilities and issues with future version updates of the Linchpin Intranet Suite.

Safety Guidelines

We strongly recommend the following Confluence configuration settings to avoid potential security risks:

Make sure people are not allowed to register their own accounts, especially without restriction to your domain.

If you allow anonymous access, make sure anonymous users don't have permission to create or edit anything anywhere (pages, blogposts, comments, attachments etc. in any space).
     
If you configure your instance differently, you do so at your own risk.
