v2.0 Runs on Atlassian
Version: 2.0.0
Release date:
We have migrated LaTeX Math for Confluence to Forge, the Atlassian hosted app development platform, and released a new major version. Until now, this app was using Atlassian Connect framework.
Features
The new platform enables some compelling features, especially when it comes to data security:
Runs on Atlassian: The app now qualifies for Runs on Atlassian badge, and this is already reflected in the Marketplace listing.
Dark Mode Support: It now supports Confluence dark mode and LaTeX formula will be properly rendered when dark mode is enabled.
Runs on Atlassian
Runs on Atlassian badge means this app is 100% hosted within Atlassian Cloud, in the same environment as Confluence.
No data egress permissions outside Atlassian Cloud
Hosted in Atlassian Cloud and data stored fully within Atlassian environment
Data residency compliant
Limitations
As a major platform upgrade, there are unfortunately some new issues that users need to be aware.
Public pages (anonymous users)
This app currently does not support public pages which are open to users not logged into Confluence. Atlassian has communicated that they will fix this issue by Nov, 2025.
Until then, if you are using the app to write public documentation, please do not upgrade and continue to use version < 2.0 which are fully functional.
Export to Microsoft Word
Exporting to Word is currently not supported out of the box. This is a limitation in Confluence Word export feature, as it still uses very old .doc format instead of standard, widely compatible .docx format.
To work around this issue, we have released a new FREE app: Advanced Word (Docx) Exporter for Confluence and suggest users to install this app instead of relying on default Confluence export.
Upgrading to v2.0
As this is a major version, Confluence admins need to manually upgrade it from Atlassian Admin. However, once limitations are removed, we are planning to enable automatic upgrade for all users.
In order to manually upgrade to this version:
Go to admin.atlassian.com
Select Sites → Your instance → Connected apps
Find the app and upgrade
