New major versions of Capable apps
November 2026. All Capable apps which utilize the Capable API have new major versions. A major version asks for new permissions, so Atlassian waits for an admin to approve it before installing.
#What the update brings

#What to do
Go to Confluence administration, then Manage apps.
Find each Capable app showing an update to approve.
Review the permissions and approve the update.
#If you wait
Apps on the older version keep working, keep their current permissions and keep receiving fixes. They use the existing Global (US) API, and the About dialog shows no API region.
#A few things worth knowing
Each app is approved on its own. Approving the suite does not approve standalone apps.
Nothing changes for people using the apps until the update is approved.
