# Description

If you no longer want to use the app and you still have pages using the app's macros, then to prevent errors on pages using the macros, remove the macros first.<span style="color: #000000"> The following sections give you some tips on this:</span>

## Keep the app enabled and licensed until you have removed macro usage

If you already have disabled, uninstalled, or un-subscribed to the app, then you must temporarily install or enable the app. You may need to do a *Try it free* if your license is invalid.

## Finding pages using macros

See this [answer](https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/59203/find-pages-that-use-certain-macros-plugins) for how to search for macros. Briefly stated search using something like: **<span style="color: #000000">macroName: table-plus</span>**<span style="color: #707070">.</span> This search does not find wiki style references to the macro in plain text macro bodies, so you must also do a text search like: **{table-plus**, etc...

Advanced tables has four macros: *table-plus*, *csv*, *attachment-table*, and *json-table*. 

## Removing the macros 

1. For the [Table Plus macro](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TBL/pages/74815966): copy the body contents outside the macro and then remove the macro.
2. For the [CSV Table macro](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TBL/pages/74815945) or [JSON Table Macro](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TBL/pages/74815257): either remove the macro completely or convert it to a *noformat* macro to preserve the data without formatting.
  1. Edit the page
  2. Edit the macro to go to the macro browser
  3. Select **Select macro** (bottom left corner)
  4. Find and select the *noformat* macro
3. For the [Attachment Table macro](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TBL/pages/74814506): remove the macro. The Confluence *attachments* macro may be an alternative for some cases.<span style="color: #000000"> </span>

## Disabling or removing the app

> ⚠️ You must be a Confluence Administrator to perform these actions.

1. Select *Apps* from the global 'cog' icon in the header.
2. Use the filter to search for *table*.
3. Expand *Bob Swift Atlassian Apps - Advanced Table*.
4. Click the **Disable** or **Uninstall** button.
