This guide provides step-by-step instructions for downgrading apps to a previous version. This can be useful if there are blocking problems with the newest version.  


## **Instructions**

1. Uninstall the current version.
  1. Navigate to the Confluence administration panel.
  2. Select **Manage Apps** from the menu.
  3. Locate the plugin you wish to downgrade.
  4. Click **Uninstall**. Note that this action removes the plugin but does not delete any associated data.
2. Download the older version.
  1. Go to the Marketplace, select the app you wish to get the older version of, and then select the required version.
  2. Access the *Versions* tab or section (for example, [LaTeX Math - Version History on the Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1210882/latex-math?tab=versions&hosting=datacenter)).
  3. Identify and select the older version you want to install.
  4. Download the corresponding `.jar` or `.obr` file for that version.
3. Install the older version.
  1. Return to the **Manage Apps** section in Confluence.
  2. Click **Upload app** or **Install app from the file**.
  3. Browse and select the downloaded `.jar` or `.obr` file.
  4. Follow the prompts to complete the installation process.
4. Verify installation.
  1. Once the installation is complete, go back to the **Manage Apps** section.
  2. Check the plugin version to confirm that the older version is now active.
