Refined for Confluence stores data within your Confluence servers: in the data folder (on disk) and in the database. We don’t send any data or product analytics outside of the Confluence server.

Data stored in the Confluence data folder

Themes

Themes are saved in CSS files, image folders, and JSON files. You can find them here:
Data_folder > shared-home > originaltheme > themes > theme_id

Layouts

Layouts are saved as JSON files and image folders. You can find them here:
Data_folder > shared-home > originaltheme > layouts > layout_id

Global images

You can find images from your image bank here:
Data_folder > shared-home > originaltheme > imagebank > images

Logos

You can find the site, category and portal logos here:
Data_folder > shared-home > originaltheme > categories > icons

You need to manually copy this data when you migrate data between servers, for example from a production to a staging environment.

Data stored in the Confluence database

Refined stores all other data in the Confluence database. We use a library called ActiveObjects to store and fetch data. All Refined tables are prefixed with AO_A3F2EF_CATEGORIES, to make it easy to find the data.

Deleting data

When you uninstall Refined, the Refined data isn’t deleted. If you want to remove this data, you can do it manually in the data folder or database.
