Once you've found the Comala Document Management app

- choose **Install** or **Free trial** if you just want to take it for a test drive, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

On installation, the app is configured by default, for use across all spaces in your instance with a number of workflow templates that are available to use in the instance.

> ✅ For a new installation of the app, you can enable [User Onboarding](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649922695) to provide users with on-screen help and helpful links to the documentation. *The ****User Onboarding**** option only works for a new app installation.*

> 📝 To find older *Comala Document Management* versions compatible with your instance, you can look through our [version history page](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/142/comala-document-management/version-history).

## Manual installation

Manual installation will sometimes be required, for example if your Confluence server or data center is air-gapped or a firewall is blocking access to the Atlassian Marketplace.

Download the [latest version of the app](https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/details/142) (from the link in the **Resources** section near the bottom-right of our marketplace page) and then [manually upload it to Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/upm/installing-add-ons-273875715.html#Installingadd-ons-Installingbyfileupload).
