How to identify the plugin associated to the macro on a page?

Summary

The admin might need to identify the macro associated with a plugin when it's not immediately clear or known, so how do you find the app responsible for the macro's functionality?

.

Solution

1. Navigate to the page with the macro in question.

2. Open the storage format for theStorage Format

   1 2 3 4 5 <p>Please push the button. </p> <p><ac:structured-macro ac:name="ui-button" ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="628c2b00-5500-4390-ab96-3ec3ae98a75f"><ac:parameter ac:name="color">green</ac:parameter><ac:parameter ac:name="icon">link</ac:parameter><ac:parameter ac:name="title">NewButton</ac:parameter><ac:parameter ac:name="url">google.com</ac:parameter></ac:structured-macro></p> <p><br /></p> <p>I'm a different macro. </p> <p><ac:structured-macro ac:name="contributors" ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="51cf7062-5f3c-4756-9b38-ede2b6b9b2bb" /></p>

   1. Search for all the plugin names using, structured-macro HTML formats.

   1 2 <p><ac:structured-macro ac:name="ui-button" <ac:structured-macro ac:name="contributors"

   2. A dense page will have several macros so using surrounding text will help find the correct macro.

   1 2 <p>Please push the button. </p> <p><ac:structured-macro ac:name="ui-button"

   3. The macro is below the text, Please push the button, so we discern the name of the macro is ui-button.

3. With the name of the macro, we navigate to Admin Console ➡️ Manage Apps ➡️ User-Installed.

   1. 

4. Expand the view for one of the plugins and click on Modules.
